<p>I love the newsletters, too, and used to do them myself - but when it seemed as if I was the only one doing so, I scaled back. Now I do write a few paragraphs in each card - more time-consuming, but I like the personal touch. I’m married to one of those “sign our names and we’re done” card-senders, and it drives me crazy.</p>
<p>I LOVE LOVE LOVE hearing from those old friends from whom I hear once a year (old high school and college friends mostly.) My only problem is, when do you drop some one from your list? Two years? Five years? I always wind up saying “one more year”… and then I cave the following year, too.</p>
