This past weekend I sat down and wrote a letter to my brother, not on the computer but actually used a fountain pen on real stationery. It makes you think more about what you're about to commit to paper since there is no delete or backspace. I'm sure he'll be shocked. Hopefully it will become a new way for us to communicate.

My brother works for the Post Office. He WISHES that I'd write him letters. He refuses to use email since he feels he's cutting his own throat. He retires at the end of this year and maybe he'll join the rest of us in the 21st Century.

I used to pride myself on my penmanship. Those nuns at All Saints would be proud of me. But in the last ten years, it has deteriorated significantly since I rarely write anything anymore beyond signing the odd check; I pay almost all my bills on line.

I remember in grade school our desks had ink wells in them and we still used fillable ink pens. I always had ink all over me.
