I'm not sure if everyone connected the dots in the comments in yesterday's post about the Ron Cey-signed birthday card I received in the mail, so let me do that here. The card, indeed, was created by a blogger, my good bud, Rod of Padrographs . He orchestrated the whole thing. He created the art for the front, the penguin and the owl, and the inside. He then shipped it off to Cey's address in Southern California and wrote him a little story about me and my blog. He said that I write a post about Ron Cey each day on his birthday and gave him the link to my website. He told him when my birthday was and asked Cey to sign the card and then send it to the address Rod provided. Cey mailed the envelope a week ago Monday and it arrived at my home yesterday, well ahead of time for my birthday. That's eight days to get from Portland, Ore., to Woodlawn Hills, Ca., to Watertown, N.Y. But Cey is the most prompt TTM signer that I know (not that I'm versed in that stuff),...
