I got to thinking the other day about how I keep in touch with friends and relatives in a completely different way than my grandmother does/did. Different even than how my mom still does in some respects. They would call people, pay each other a visit, etc. I blog, read my friends' blogs, do the facebook thing, etc. Rarely do I talk on the phone to friends and family. I even feel awkward on the phone sometimes. Heck, I use IM and text messages more with Brian than I talk on the phone with him. In the past, I felt kind of guilty that I wasn't calling people more often, but now I am feeling less so, and more like this is just one way I have evolved beyond the telephone.
Hey. At least I am not sitting across the table from you texting you rather than speaking to you. Right?

I'm the same way! Even if we don't talk on the phone I still love you.
yup, same here
I am hooked on email...new at texting, but still love to hear a person's voice and see face to face.....it's kinda why I like live music, even though I listen to recorded music. Nothing is quite the same as an in person, face to face visit. But when far away from those you care about, it is good to communicate in whatever way is best. But don't you just love to get something in the mailbox from a friend?
I don't know if it's the fact that we're engineer/scientist nerds or what, but I agree.
