Why I'm Writing Paper Letters Again

[dewline]

It seems counter-intuitive, 'tis true.

But even without knowing me, Bruce Ward of the Ottawa Citizen goes to some useful length to explain some of my motives, however indirectly. I have resented doing without "to the door" delivery in my neighbourhood this past quarter-century. I should have been making my preference for such service clear far sooner and more often. That mistake will be addressed - ahem - in due course.

(Thanks to jkahane for pointing out the linkage above.)

It's probably not just age. I don't know how old you are, but I'm more than old enough to have grown up before E-mail became commonly accessible (I'm 51). I just never wrote letters.

Point taken. I'm younger (not saying by how much), but I did pick up the habit anyway.
