YOUR WISHES FULFILLED — by Steve Nadis
I mysteriously found a large envelope stuffed in my mailbox this morning, which is puzzling since it’s Sunday. The envelope was big enough that I can’t imagine I wouldn’t have seen it in yesterday’s mail. The return address had the cryptic name, “Hurlock Fulfillment Center.” I had no idea what was inside the envelope, but the word “Fulfillment” got my interest and I opened it without pause. The envelope contained three copies of the journal Nature, all printed about five or so months ago. I have no idea why it was sent to me or who might have sent it. (The elusive Mr. Hurlock?) But I still have the feeling that it’s important and perhaps the mystery will be solved when I read the contents of the more than 261 combined pages, if only I can find my specs…

“X Fulfillment Center” usually refers to a rebate being issued by a 3rd party. Did you submit comments/articles to them last summer? Maybe 1 of your kids mailed in enough support-the-zebra & coyote stamps for “3 free issues”! LOL
As far as Hurlock, I’m sad to report it’s just the co. in MD that handles The Learning Channel’s mags, named after the town it’s ‘churning’ out of. [link] FYI
Thanks MP, that’s one interpretation but I prefer to believe it’s something magical.
Maybe SANTA left them!
thanks Windfall, I like that better than MP’s more sober conjecture.
..thhhhhhhh-O-ber? Awww..c-cc-cc-c-c’m-ON Sssssssnake..
(Actually, a Sunday delivery would NOT be any USPS dude.
Windfall Woman may have it right
Um, just wondering. . . why did you automatically assume it was the elusive “Mr.” Hurlock. Why not the elusive “Ms.” Hurlock? Or “Mrs.” Hurlock? Or “Miss” Hurlock? Or the entire Hurlock Family? Remember, it takes an entire center to fulfill a Hurlock. That’s my entry in the next bumber sticker contest.
You’re rt., OR, I shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions. I guess I’m not Hurlock Sholmes.
