Continuing in my zeal to throw stuff away that began with the new bookcases, I went through a box of old letters, postcards and other documents from when I was in college and slightly after. I was amazed at the amount of paper correspondence I wrote and received in that time. I love e-mail, but it was really fun to read the words of all these people, some of whom I’d just about forgotten before I read the letter.
Imagine how many friends we’d have if we stayed in touch with all the people throughout our lives we once considered good friends.
