As you know, Dear Readers (and as I'm sure you're tired of me reminding you), I enjoy writing. The sort of professional, quasi-technical/instructional/doctrinal writing I do at work, and especially the writing of personal letters. This is a dying art, to be sure, squeezed out by the lack of time, the lack of facility with cursive writing, and the growth of phone calls, e-mail and text messaging as the preferred mode of communication. I've written to some of you, and almost all of you have written back (I won't mention the lone holdout, but his name rhymes with Mike), making for a trip to the mailbox that is more entertaining than simply riffling through the piles of bills, political detritus, and assorted advertisements that have replaced the traditional ink-on-paper letter.
Amaze your friends ... confound your enemies ... send your thoughts! Visit the Bureau of Communication today!
Have a good day. Write to someone today ... they'll thank you for it.
More thoughts tomorrow.

It sounds great for lazy people.
I sounds like a site custom made for me. I had thought about creating that site myself but never got around to it. One of these days someone will send me a round toit and everything will fall into place.
Mike, I have one of those! If I can find it again, I'll send a copy to you. It won't work quite as well as the original, but it should help a little, at least....
There's nothing like a form letter with blanks filled in to break bad news........
I think the British had those back in World War I.
