You know what I miss?
I miss letters. I miss coming home and getting the happy surprise of a decorated envelope with my friends' name and address in the corner.
From the age of 15 to about 21 I was consistently writing letters about five times a week. I would get back atleast one a week, and it was always one of the highlights of my day.
I reluctantly got an email address at the age of 23 because I was buying a van to skip across the US by myself, and I wanted a way to keep in touch with people. I never left, but the letters did.
With technology my handwriting has gotten messy when I need to actually WRITE.
I received my first real letter in probably years last week from my friend Tim who is in the big house and i have read it four times. I sat down and wrote (typed) back to him for about three hours afterwards. And every day when I come home there are about 43 seconds from when I hit the driveway until I make it to my mailbox that I get real excited to open the box and see if there is anything there.
I need more of that.

Letter that sucked to write? The one I sent to my little brother who is in Iraq right now. he's got a three year old girl and 4 month old boy. I really want him back just so he's around for them, though it'll be fun to hang with him again.
I'd offer a great letter, but I don't know how you'd feel about your address going to a stranger. Figure something out and I'll lay the pen to the paper for ya.
Adios
