People, for a while: I need to remember to reach out to all my friends and family during this terrible period!
A few months later: Stop calling me! And make sure to slip a note in my mailbox before you even think about texting me!
I REALLY do not like this isolationist culture we're slowly building up to, at least in the U.S. Calling someone is the equivalent of showing up unannounced? I find that notion absurd on its face. Maybe there are some parallels but it stops pretty short.
