A man of letters in the digital age

[Tux Toledo]

My latest blog entry continues to explore the impact of technology on ladies and gentleman, particularly what it means to be a man (or woman) of letters in the age of email and text messages.

Fans of hand-written, paper letters stand up and be counted!

Tux - The link doesn't seem to be working...

I was talking with my boss the other day, a PhD hospital chief operating officer. She commented how much she enjoys reading my e-mails as they're written like a letter. I mumbled something about needing to provide context and then she said that if I ever gave up my day job, I could write.

Pause, is that something like the handwriting is on the wall??

5 minute time out....




OK. I found the blog via your website.

So, can you be a man of letters with lousy handwriting? I bought the paper and envelopes, but couldn't read my own cramped writing.

Yes you can.

BTW, I fixed the link.

Don't feel bad, I have been told for years I should have been a Doctor, since, only a Pharmacist can read my hand writing!

War Time emails

There is an effort underway to try and save the new War Time emails between loved ones! It would be sad if all the letters were simply deleted! http://www.warletters.com/preserve/

That is truly a wonderful and noble project. What a tragedy if all of that first-hand history was lost.

I really love writing and receiving letters; so I guess I could be called a man of letters... My handwriting, grammar, are all atrocious. However, I have been trying to improve on each and I think the improvement on my handwriting is the hardest.
