I really do wish I had thought of the "having to sign" part. On Sept. 24 I sent a quilt to my favorite news correspondent for his birthday (Oct. 1). I wrote him a letter on Dec 18, and sent an email to 48 Hours sometime after that. I finally got a letter on Feb 17 saying that he never got it. The post office said it was delivered on Sept 26. The time to collect on the insurance ran out on Nov. 24.
