In the evening I decided to spend some time applying the stamps to a throwaway page. One of these was an airmail stamp that said 'First man on the moon'. Good or bad, it does make me think of an REM song, called 'Man on the moon'. I liked how there weren't many duplicates from this set I had just found, and I got most of them onto one page- over 40 in all. There are just three envelopes left- and one of these had German stamps on it. Most were American, and three were from Canada. Some of these I have acquired happen to be from E-bay orders. This is due to ordering mostly postcards which are sent in your typical envelope. Some of these I still see at work when there's something like contracts mailed in an envelope that isn't a Fed-Ex package, usually a single contract.
Some were animated Christmas stamps, a series of four- Santa, then reindeer. Two were of Mary Cassatt paintings, to go with those I had already applied to one of two sheets from earlier. One is a makeup stamp with Father Flanagan of 'Boys Town' fame. Another is of President Harry Truman, and other are of entertainers like Audrey Hepburn and Roy Acuff. There's football player Bronko Nagurski, to go with Ernie Nevers from earlier. Also Houdini the magician, and Claire Chennault of the 1940s 'Flying Tigers'. The theater guy had spoken of Chennault. One is of Stand Watie, and I had just looked at a page advertising Civil War stamps that said he fought on the Confederate side of the war. I don't know much about him.
The frog stamp makes me think of 'The Simpsons' episode I saw tonight after eating at Genghis Khan Grill with my date, as a 'Frog plague' was what brought Rev. Lovejoy back to the church. Apparently Homer became a deacon despite hating the church, upstaging Flanders. We joined it in progress, missing about half of it. We didn't do much today, reading the paper and walking the dog were notable things along with trying to plan out the summer as best as possible. It helped to look at the St. Paul Saints promotional schedule, but things are subject to change as we haven't bought many event tickets yet.
