I think I love where we are.

And I think we would be giving up so much if we did.

Yeah, someone needs to do the research on number of bathrooms and happiness.

Based on the comments, I think there's a pretty high correlation.

So we may stay put and just add the extra bathroom.

All right.

Thanks so much for your time.

Great to be here.

Thank you.

When was the last time you sent a letter in the actual mail?

Okay, a lot of us still do holiday cards, but the U.S.

Postal Service says overall mail volume continues to decline year after year.

The shift to digital correspondence is, of course, the main reason, but another issue is cost.

The price of first-class stamps has risen 42 percent since 2020.

From LAist, reporter Jill Replogle went looking for ways to send cards on the cheap this year and discovered a growing market for counterfeit stamps.

I have a friend who sends out Valentine's Day cards instead of Christmas or New Year's cards, because who has time for all that before the end-of-year holidays?

I thought maybe I'd copy this great idea, but the price has me reconsidering.

We're talking at least $100 for custom cards with family photos, plus $0.78 per stamp, a price that just went up again in July.

I mentioned this on a recent phone call to my dad.
