Postage and handwriting
It looks like the cost of a stamp is going to rise, perhaps dramatically. I still think that mailing a letter is a great value-- 44 cents to anywhere in the U.S.!
Of course, few people write letters, which makes receiving a handwritten letter a special treat. (that said, no one wants a handwritten letter from me, since my handwriting is illegible).
Who would you write a letter to, or want to receive a letter from?

I would want a true, old-fashion love letter. One that mixes memories and poetry and "sweet nothings." Of course, it would have to be hand written on beautiful stationary. No matter the price of the stamp, it would be cherished.
I sent a letter to my daughter today. She is away at camp for a month. That is really the only time I send handwritten letters.
DEAR LOWER-CASE GUY,
THANKS TO THE LACK OF THE "CAPS LOCK" KEY IN EVERYDAY LIFE, IT WOULD BE IMMENSELY DIFFICULT TO SEND YOU A LETTER.
LOVE,
ALL CAPS GUY

I don't want handwritten letters. If there is a non-urgent communication that needs my attention, I'd rather have it in a space-saving electronic format. If something needs a personal touch, find me in person.
That aside, I'm also mad that Texas has not yet mandated electronic filing for appellate briefs. I have to kill a small forest every time I want to ask the Court of Criminal Appeals for permission to scratch my nose.

I had a professor in graduate school tell us to make handwritten notes and correspondence to our kids. Apparently that is supposed to be more personal than typed (and legible) documents.
Sounds good to me, but I haven't really adopted the practice. Do I get points for intending to?
