The post office put a hold on my mail in mid-July for about two weeks per my request. When I received my held mail upon returning to San Francisco, it was obvious some of it was missing.

I went back and forth with the post office about the missing mail. Predictably this seemed little more than an enormously frustrating waste of time. I gave up on ever retrieving the missing mail.

Yesterday, I received the missing mail, a month and a half after the end of the hold. Awesome! Receiving those July bills in September sure does me a lot of good!

Speaking of striving mightily but failing miserably, in one of the stranger contingencies of my life, it looks like I'm playing bass for '80s almost-was Sid Luscious and the Pants.

And on a completely unrelated note, I saw a Bundt cake mix in the supermarket called "Tunnel of Fudge." I thought to myself, "Whoever thought up that name needs to be fired from the marketing department." But a Google search reveals that Tunnel of Fudge is actually a fairly well-known type of cake. How did I get this far in life without knowing that?!
