Sometimes, it's a good idea to turn off the computer and get out a pen. Rummage around until you find a card or go buy a post card or find a sheet of letterhead or nab a placemat from the diner where you're going to have lunch today. And write a note to a friend. Just say hello and tell your old friend what you're doing, where you are, even what the weather's like in your part of the world.
In the world of one good farrier friend right now, it might be a great diversion to hear from old friends.
Please send cards, letters, and good thoughts (but no phone calls or emails, please) to:
Allen Smith
31 Cross Neck Road
Marion, MA 02738
He'd do it for you, and probably has.
Thanks.
