Most of the time when I get an email meant for someone else, it's because that person doesn't know their own email address. In this case, it's because the sender didn't know his mother's email address. And I know he doesn't know it, because he guessed at 5 variations and sent this to all of us.

It sounds silly, but I feel really excited and charged up every time I pick up my phone and see this new image. I think it's got something to do with the treehouse showing up in both pictures.
Here's the old image, and on the right, the new.

Letterlife
The end result of a game of Letterpress has always vaguely reminded me of Conway's Game of Life, which is an early computing application that I had assumed was only referred to as a game out of respect for the dead, but Mr. Conway survives.
Anyway, I've been collecting these game results for a while, in order to be able to do this:

I may have misunderstood exactly WHY Yeller was executed…
