Mark Twain to be honored

Not sure if there are any stamp and cover collectors here, but it might be of interest to a few.

The USPS has announced its lineup for 2011 and it includes a commemorative postage stamp honoring one of the most famous cigar smokers, Mark Twain.

We have plenty of time, and I hope to make a philatelic souvenir cover possibly carried on board a riverboat and then posted from Hannibal, Mo., Twain's birthplace (born as Samuel Langhorne Clemens).

Heck, we have enough time to organize a herf, maybe on board a cigar-friendly riverboat, take a dinner cruise down the Mississippi or something like that? Maybe us Missouri and Illinois inmates could get together and fire one up in his memory?
