here's what i did .
i wanted the moment to last . i got the envelope out of the mailbox ....i didn't just rip into it like a wild animal .

i gently carried into the house and examined the outside of it (front and back)
then i carefully gave it a little squeeze to confirm it had something rigid inside ...smiled .
i took a deep breath while slowly peeling back the flap .
at this point i could hear the theme music from " 2001 A Space Odyssey " playing in my head .
and there it was in all its glory .

but that's just me .

you don't . its impossible .
