All Aboard the Meme Express – Wednesday, February 4, 2009
February 4th is Thank a Mailman Day. Although the origins of this occasion are uncertain, the idea seems to have merit. Have you thanked your mail carrier lately?
In honor of this letter-perfect holiday, here is “Please, Mr. Postman,” performed by The Carpenters. (Karen Carpenter died of anorexia on February 4, 1983.)

Today’s Meme Express prompt is: Mailman.
Perhaps this concept will inspire you to create a drawing, a poem, a short story, or a journal entry. Then return here to leave a comment with your link. (Be sure to include a link to the Meme Express. Grab our train graphic from the sidebar for your link, if you want.)
