Post Script

I received a letter in the mail this past week from one of my good college friends who goes by the name of Helen. Helen lives in the state of Arizona now and I live deep in the heart of Texas. She and I both worked at Outdoor Adventures, the outdoorsy part of our Campus Recreation Department. I did the marketing and she ran the trips. One of the best jobs I've ever had. We have done a wonderful job of playing phone tag and having scattered calls here and there since we graduated, but it wasn't until the New Year that we decided upon a new means of communication.

Letter writing.

Oh yes.

Writing letters is one of the best and most fun ways to communicate. With pen and paper being one of the new, up-and-coming ways to keep in touch, I'm hoping to use it for what its worth. I mean, really. How exciting is it to walk in the door and see a letter, not some Visa credit card application, but a real-live, from an actual person letter waiting for you?!? I'll tell you how exciting...way exciting.

This letter was a step beyond the normal letter sending. I walked away with some personal SWAG. A new sticker to put on my Nalgene, Mapquest directions from here to AZ, and a newly burned CD!!! Nobody burns CDs anymore! What's up with that?!? I acquired a mix of tunes from the likes of Nickel Creek, Mos Def, Joni Mitchell, John Denver, Ben Harper, Phish, Dave Matthews, and a little bit of T-Pain. Booyah!

So if you're wanting to contact me these days, don't go the cell phone/email route. I'll be waiting with my pen, paper, and a good 'ole stamp from the U S of A.
