Hi Dave
I think the card is great for keeping in touch. Bah facebook! We need to save the post office. Bring the postmaster general back to the cabinet. Have you ever read the Crying of Lot 49 by Pynchon? My neighbor used to keep office hours in a public place, a restaurant. She let her friends know. Sometimes she sat in the restaurant alone at a table. The man who married her saw her in the restaurant and eventually went up and introduced himself. I had thought of doing that as a low tech means of communicating with some degree of privacy from electronic surveillance, but never implemented it. The Cafe Figaro on Bleecker is a coffee house of the old school, and there is a better one, but I have forgotten the location and it may no longer bv be there. Also, some classical composer wrote something called the Coffee Contata about the first wave of coffee houses in Europe.
