By coincidence I headed to the mailbox just as the big brown UPS truck had backed up my driveway, so I had a chance to see the friendly fellow who has delivered packages here for years. Weâve often spoken cordially over those years â itâs always a good thing when UPS stops by â but sometimes, more often this year, the package is left at my door. Over the years his truck has pulled into my driveway more than anyone who wasnât me.
âIâm glad I got to see you,â he said to me. âMy last day is Dec. 23. Iâm retiring.â
