It's always something

Technology keeps changing, but people seem to stay the same.

I'm old enough to recall article upon article warning that letter-writing was under threat by something I'm too old to remember--the telephone?

In the crowd I ran with in the late 50s and early 60s, we wrote letters to people we were going to see in a few hours. It didn't make things boring or uneasy.

I remember pouring my broken heart out in the late 70s to someone who was balancing her checkbook and watching television simultaneously. I'm still pissed about that.

And the letter writer who waited until June to check up on a mother who failed to arrive for a visit in April . . .

How many more generations is it going to take to get a handle on our attitudes toward mothers?
