I miss good letters. Letter writing is a lost art.

The way people used to write really great letters is pretty damn cool. They really put effort into them and you really got a feel for the person. Snail mail letters now seem to be getting so short and empty they're like e-mails. I love a couple-page letter, or more, where someone is really communicating with you, but sometimes I wonder if even very bright friends are borderline retarded when I see their letters. Hi, how are u me and Fred went to the pool. I'm gonna get a skateboard for Xmas. Laters, XOXOX

Oh well, it's still nice to get them. But it seems there's less confidence or patience to say it in writing.
