Am I the only one who likes to write and receive an old-fashioned letter? This time of year, I sit down and write out holiday cards. I treat it like a business, spreadsheet and all, so I don't miss anyone. It takes a good 5-6 hours. I'll admit, I don't always love it 100% of the time, but I feel it's important to thank and remember those who have been important to me. A hand-written notes takes time, effort, and thought, I hope that it sends a message that I care and value those people who receive my letters. Typed letters, or god forbid, e-cards are just not the same. But maybe I'm old-fashioned.
In this vein, I'm sad that USPS is in financial straights. They need to redefine their mission somehow and adapt to this world of electronic communication. I've got no good ideas, for what does the postal service do except ensure that we receive paper communication?
