I've cast my fate to the wind (or at least the USPS)

Multiple hours spent printing, signing, cutting, addressing, stamping and licking envelopes and now they are in the hands of the USPS. It's like throwing out a fishing net and waiting to see what comes back in. It reminds me of the scene in the movie, It's a Wonderful Life, when they have two dollars left after the run on the bank.  "Momma dollar and Poppa dollar, may they prosper and have lots of baby dollars." (or at least something close to that)
It's a relief to have the initial big push done.  Now we'll just have to see what comes of it.
