Reagan birth centennial stamp debuts

If it was "morning in America" for President Ronald Reagan, a new commemorative postage stamp due in February to mark "the Gipper's" birth centennial will forever view the sunrise.
The new commemorative stamp, whose design was unveiled Monday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., always will be valid for a 1-ounce first-class letter, the U.S. Postal Service confirmed. It officially will be released at the library on Feb. 10, 2011, four days after the 100th anniversary of Reagan's birth.
Texas artist Bart Forbes did the portrait, based on a 1985 photograph of Reagan taken at Rancho del Cielo, near Santa Barbara, Calif.
The design was published first in Linn's Stamp News, a hobbyist publication. Earlier this year, Linn's broke the news that a Reagan Centennial postage stamp would be released.
Although the preliminary design shows a 44-cent value, the postal agency recently announced that all commemorative, or special, issues will be inscribed with "Forever," instead of a face value, meaning they would sell for the then-current first-class rate but would remain valid for first-class mail even when rates increase.
A USPS spokesman who asked not to be identified by name said a revised version showing the "Forever" inscription will be released Dec. 28.

Tolerable. We have runny noses. Someone is supposed to bring me more Girl Scout cookies tomorrow, and then I’ll send you some.
I need to get dressed, and get Frank dressed, so we can go to Weight Watchers soon. And it’s funny, I could swear I hear guitar-playing, even though Bill’s supposed to be cleaning the upstairs bathroom.

"And its funny, I could swear I hear guitar-playing, even though Bills supposed to be cleaning the upstairs bathroom." "I'll get to it directly."
That's a diligent effort with a Southern twang.

Yesterday, I learned we can’t have anyone here with food products to donate or sell because...(hold onto your hat)...some residents were so selfish and evil when Trader Joe’s would donate food items that the entire complex will be punished ad infinitum.
An excellent reason why I never get involved with the residents. This is my fifth year here and I know only one person (Deaf June) and am acquainted with five more in a 100 apartment complex.
*sheesh*

He’s fine. He got the stitches out last Friday, and he has a score on his forehead, but the doctor says it will fade. Babies’ skin recovers much more easily than mine would.

It’s Moving Day, February 29th. I think. Maybe it will be February 30th. Or something like that. But I need to wake up first.
