While I exchange occasional letters with friends who don't live close, most prefer the telephone ever since Ma Bell started offering inexpensive rates on nights and Sundays.  Personally, I don't enjoy the phone.  It feels impersonal to me, which might sound strange since a voice in one's ear is a cozy thing.  But when I'm on the line, I can mend or play Solitaire, while with a letter I must pay close attention.  There is unequaled satisfaction in composing words on a blank page, sealing them in an envelope, writing an address in my own messy hand, adding a stamp, walking it to the mailbox, and raising the flag.  It's like preparing a gift, and I feel like I receive one when a letter arrives--yours most of all.

The one thing to remember about an adventure is that if it turns out the way you expect it to, it has not been an adventure at all.

Even if you don't find what you think you're looking for, darling, it's the going out and looking for it that counts.
