I kept them all, and I hope my sister didn't throw them out when she consolidated all my stuff and they are now sitting in her basement. It will be fun to dig them out and read them again. I still remember "Bartholomew"... :-)<BR/><BR/>IMs are the best way to keep in touch, at least for me that is. And, I look fwd to you IM-ing me again soon! ;-)NomadicExpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530123337350392876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958650458175024216.post-2003047547584574252007-09-28T01:01:00.000+10:002007-09-28T01:01:00.000+10:00I did think of emailing to my old friends asking t...I did think of emailing to my old friends asking them about their lives etc but they always reply with one liners saying that they are "doing fine"....people are really too caught up with their work!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11655446350288329829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958650458175024216.post-58045629321935685132007-09-27T22:34:00.000+10:002007-09-27T22:34:00.000+10:00I understand what you mean.

I used to write long, chatty letters that everyone loved to receive...now, I don't have the time any more to write the sort of letters I like, and most people have to settle for e-mails. I do write long Christmas letters to my closest friends (not a xeroxed, one-size-fits-all letter, either!), but it doesn't seem to make up for the decline in contact through the year. It's sad. By the way, I love the "telephone porridge" expression!Bilbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14213505386288233192noreply@blogger.com
