It's the computer that tends to eat up my time. I’m sure it doesn’t help, but then, I have no trouble multi-tasking in front of the television. It’s the computer that tends to eat up my time.

Never less than 10 A5 pages and sometimes 20 pages. She has depression and I don't have a TV. The latter is probably the most telling as to where everyone's time goes!

It still amazes me to think that I used to write (and receive) real letters all the time. I even had a selection of different artists' inks and a nib, dip-pen to write them in, just because it made it more personal. Sigh.

Well, maybe a year and a half ago. I used to receive Christmas cards with handwritten notes, but I've been lax in writing back. But I used to love getting letters and writing them. Email communication definitely did not give way to long missives. Instead, it became much shorter quick notes or even worse, forwards of chain letters and things, which bear no real content.

I also write postcards on a regular basis because I'm a member of postcrossing.com. I send typed letters to my grandfather once a month too because he doesn't have an email account.
