J.B. Preistly is quoted as saying, "In the bakelite house of the future, the dishes may not break, but the heart can." In my own way, I understand. The net has made the world smaller, so I have made many good friends all over the globe. But at the same time, the fact that I can't just drive for a couple hours and see these people in person makes me feel each mile seperating us far more accutely.

So many people I want to give a real hug to.
