    Re: Distance

    Lucky you. In that sense, technology is a wonderful thing.

    I just see the modern, nuclear American family not being as touchy-feely as it once was. How many families actually sit down to dinner together ... even once a week? Spending time together watching a TV show (yes, there were shows way back when that whole families could enjoy watching) has been replaced by Guitar Hero III, Second Life and Internet chat rooms.
