Howdy folks:

Welcome to the Michael Perry’s Voice Mail, episode 122. This one’s available to subscribers and non-subscribers alike. Click the player above to listen.

Included in today’s installment: Mike goes on an unscripted ramble about how unboxing a box of mouse-riddled hats and caps transported him to a heartwarming recollection of his mother and how she balanced want and need on the tip of a sewing needle…and taught him everlasting lessons about grit and gratitude in the process. This week’s ramble is accompanied by a bunch of photos for reference.

Mike has written about the influence of his mother in a number of publications, most prominently Population 485 and Coop.

Thank you for listening. See y’down the road.
