Blogging

I spent a few minutes in instant touch with some cousins time zones and thousands of miles away last evening. It wasn't much. A few words. But so important in the ol keep in touch instant world. We are spoiled these days with instant news, instant Internet searches and auto appliances. I LOVE it at the same time bemoaning the good ol days I never knew and in reality dont really want to descend in to.
I'm comforted by the communications, like a nurses fingers on the pulse. On the other hand we loose the thrill of the mailbox delivery and the thoughtful time to write well thought out missives to our loved ones.
I see some interesting letters to the editor written in our local paper. It is only 3 days a week now, likely as Internet news has taken strong hold. But there is nothing like the written word to inflame and motivate. Its concrete! It must be true and accurate. Hmmm.
Where are we going? What path? Whose dropping the crumbs????
