Picked up the mail today and found an actual letter in an envelope with a first class stamp on it, addressed by hand to me. My first thought was that it was one of the standard scam mailings from a local car dealer telling me how badly he wants my trade-in.
But no, it was a real letter, handwritten on letter paper, from an old friend I haven't had any contact with in years. Just two sides of one sheet, filling me in on his life and simply making contact.
I suddenly realized that it has probably been at least a couple of decades since the last time I received such a letter from a friend (or sent one, much to my shame). It's email or phone or nothing these days.
How long has it been for you?
