I've recently acquired a snail mail pen pal. An old friend is overseas and she has no access to the internet. I'd almost forgotten how much more satisfying it is to write an actual letter. And I find I like anticipating the much slower and usually more thoughtful response. There are things I love about the internet but I think we are losing some things too.

I write snail mail style to my high school buddy who is in prison. It makes his letters seem more valuable then the friends I keep in touch with via internet and social media.

There is something to be said for a more thoughtful and meaningful dialogue to be found in a letter, a call, or even a personal one on one email.

I enjoyed the Q&A in your last journal, by the way, even the more mundane questions. Glad to hear your wife's operation went well.
