Social Observations

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?
