Remember when letter writing was an art? Are you afraid that this skill is being lost, in these days of email and text messages?  Well, maybe it is, and that is a shame. But emails and texts have their own charm, you know.  Kind of like writing haiku instead of sonnets. And as anyone who reads this blog knows, I like haiku. So I guess it follows that I like emails too.  Some of mine, especially the ones I write to my daughters, are gems of humor or pathos or righteous indignation.  I keep copies of these for posterity, just in case my daughters don’t realize great literature in this form.

Just the other day I came across a website that seems to believe in email art too.  Every time I visit I end up staying longer than I intended and laughing more in an hour than I usually do in a day, sometimes a week.  Check it out: www.postcardsfromyomomma.com.  Let me know how you like it – and write some email lit of your own.
