Good morning. 📫📪✉️

11 March 2025

I think back to my days in Vietnam, in 1972. I used to write letters to my grandmother—I still have them somewhere. Back then, calling home wasn’t really an option. A few months ago, I opened a couple of those letters and realized just how atrocious my handwriting was—more of a scrawl, really—and to top it off, my spelling wasn’t much better.

It’s been years since I last sat down to write a letter. With global telephone coverage, email, and texting, I suspect handwritten letters have become a rarity. Still, we’ve been lucky enough to receive a few letters from one of our granddaughters.

Funny thought—'kind of a scrawl, couldn’t spell at all' sounds like it could be lyrics in a country western song.

"In an age like ours, which is not given to letter-writing, we forget what an important part it used to play in people's lives." - Anatole Broyard

The image portrays a stunning scene of a dramatic sky, either during sunset or sunrise. The focal point is the sun, which emits a radiant golden glow. Dark, dramatic clouds partially obscure the sunlight, creating a striking interplay of light and shadow. These clouds are beautifully illuminated along their edges, casting a warm, golden hue that transitions into deeper orange and subtle reds as it blends into the surrounding sky. In the foreground, there’s the silhouetted outline of a building with a slanted roof, adding contrast to the bright and vivid tones of the sky.
