I was interested in the com...okay, I guess I am in. I was interested in the comments your dad had regarding emails. I think the annoyance occurs mainly when I make the rare appearance at the office and then send a barrage of one-line updates to projects,all in seperate emails, so his mailbox takes a giant leap in inbox postings. This is one of the drawbacks of my improved typing skills, the other being the loss of mystery in that the letters I intend to use to form words are fairly frequently the same ones I actually type.<BR/>But, in answer to your question, yes, we phone throughout the day but I occasionally send a text. The texts seem to be more one way communications... just a quick I love you ( or at times i lobe yuo). Yesterday I sent an "I love you" text to your dad, except that it was a little dark when I was selecting the recipient so I actually sent "I love you" to Pacific Winds, the music store listed above Peter in my contact list. I like to think I cheered someone who was in need of a little boost.<BR/>Did you hear about the "creepy love note" I left your dad when I went to Germany? I dressed a body pillow in my clothes and propped it up on the bed so it would not seem so lonely when Peter came home to an empty house, but all it did was scare him. That was sure a swing and a miss...<BR/>Maybe you can write a section on communications gone astray. They are fun, too.<BR/>MmMmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11323606421351754039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289980603342614959.post-54554337920411798812008-06-19T12:55:00.000-07:002008-06-19T12:55:00.000-07:00Not sure what my username is... did this work?MmNot sure what my username is... did this work?<BR/>MmMmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11323606421351754039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289980603342614959.post-32156351010930858502008-06-19T10:24:00.000-07:002008-06-19T10:24:00.000-07:00I was specifically wondering how, for example...Me...I was specifically wondering how, for example...Melanie and Bryan communicate as opposed to, for example, Stan and Connie.

With your mother out of town in Boise what more do I have to do other than live through my kids and their blogs? I thought I was up to date but obviously not.<BR/>Interestingly enough, by the time I got to the office this morning and sat down at the computer, I had already been on the phone with your mother three times...once when I got up, once on the way to Jack's study and once when I left. I had no idea that our frequent phone calls made such an impression on you growing up but, yes, it is true, we still call all the time. But, interestingly enough, never IM and when we sometimes have a flurry of e-mails back and forth I get annoyed after awhile. Don't get me wrong, I love to be in touch with her, but when I get absorbed in a project at work I eventually find my e-mail annoying because it is such a constant and ever-present interruption. Now I'm curious as to the generational differences. I'd be interested in whether those of us in the "older" generation communicate with each other 1) more or less often 2) more or less in depth or 3) simply very differently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289980603342614959.post-45168320193305666282008-06-19T09:55:00.000-07:002008-06-19T09:55:00.000-07:00Never mind your question - I just want to say I lo...Never mind your question - I just want to say I love what I've read by Hanna Rosin!
