My sister and I don't communicate extensively via email so our notes to each other are short and informative -- like about flight times and the status of our mother and / or father. Every now and again, one of us sends the other a more personal note through email -- she sent me the cutest email today. It was about this blog -- she doesn't read it daily, but checks up on it every now and again. And she said that when she read it she felt like she was just reading some writer's blog, and not her sister's blog. It was the sweetest damned thing. And she said reading it made her squirt water out her nose (actually, she just spit it out her mouth, but it makes so much a better image to think of water spraying out her nose :)
