In this episode we read through Easter cards from 1979, which was a terrible year for Easter card designs and potentially a prediction of bad things to come RE: Precious Moments figurines.

The greeting card industry continues to have many things to apologize for as we read through many 1970s and 1980s greeting cards - bad vibes, illustrations, and poetry abound.

In this episode, we discuss the potential of Trump as a performance artist. We also read a letter from Anne Hill to her daughter with news of comings and goings and whatnots and discuss Sam's long-game to be the shortest serving US President in history.

In this episode, we discuss if hoarding is nature versus nurture and why you should never throe anything away, ever. The two letters in this episode are dark, dark horses in that they aren't actually sad, but contain some references to dark periods of history: Boys Town and WWII.

In this episode, we hear from Grandpa - a man at the center of this podcast, but rarely heard from. He is in the hospital in Massachussets where he did not get his cadaver eye. And we also hear from agent Auntie, still a spy, still in Germany, still taking her vitamins.

In this episode, we read through one of the stupidest cards ever to grace the greeting card world (the we have seen, so far). Sam later tells Manette, offline, that she is impressed with her knowledge of dog breeds, despite how dumb the card is.

In this episode, poor long-suffering Jane Hill finally succumbs to whatever thing she was suffering with. Sam also does the loudest page russle that ever russled pages.

In this episode, we hear from a distant cousin. Or maybe a first cousin, but he's in Wisconsin so geographically distant, at least. And some spicy letter-edge writing about custody and child support.

In this episode, letters from across the age spectrum - from young Lynn writing to her father about school and moving in with him in California to a 97 year old friend with perfect penmanship, who is living the good life. Also of note is a discovery about Sexy George Washington stamp - a high-value stamp waiting for a high-value partner.

In this episode, we have a couple of letters from our favorite year, 1969, but unfortunately have some sad sad news about Jane, who isn't so well. Gramma Mickey is away, leaving Grandpa to keep things in order and sew a chair skirt. most importantly we meet sexy, slightly culturally inappropriate, naked George Washington. Happy Birthday, America!
