one of the reasons it's really tragic to move around all the time, is that i never get mail! i am very jealous of people who can pop down to the mailbox and collect their daily paper and letters :) it's also quite sad not to have a writing {correspondence} desk with all of my stationery and stamps! in the past i've tried to stick to a letter-writing regimen & have found, to my dismay, that it's difficult enough keeping in touch with people via email. nevertheless, i'm going to keep trying to revive the use of the written letter & hope technology doesn't wipe it out completely.
along these lines, remember when i wrote this column about how london doesn't work, which included a rant about the royal mail? well, the economist has the solution: read this article about privatizing postal services in the UK. now if only someone would propose a quick remedy for separate water taps... {there's even a facebook group about this issue!)
