2004-04-22 - 10:14 p.m. LEX wow, another blast from the past (and why not, with the world getting smaller and smaller in relative mind-space, that is, with communication connecting more and more people and places), I remember The Letter Exchange (LEX) with so much excitement and warmth and fun (and a touch of the bittersweetness that having left things behind for a while brings)... if you are a letter writer (once upon a time called pen-pals, remember?), I mean pen-to-paper, envelope-and-stamp in the mailbox type of letter writer, then LEX is a dream come true... you see, or hopefully will, long long ago in a strange land far far away, once upon a time... a simple genius named Steve Sikora started the ball rolling back in 1982 and kept it rolling through the nineties until retiring in 2000... the internet and email cut into the market, I suppose... and fools like me drifted away from the love of writing letters... but fellow original LEXer Gary Marvin and his wife Lona picked up the banner and have rekindled the dream... a simple dream, really, to bring people who love writing letters to each other, people who love corresponding, together... the website is as simple as the idea, totally appropriate, for the magic is within your words, within the envelopes that will arrive in your mailbox and the responses you put in your letters... there's no razzle dazzle, no gimmicks or flash (though you can rubber stamp or draw or do anything that the paper can hold and can be sent through the mail)... you just have to check it out... am I psyched about LEX?... you would be too, if you shared my memories... I am still in touch with some of the people I've met through that forum and hold to find some more... of course part of the bittersweetness is the fact that I ended up in Toronto via a LEX meeting, and that (hmmmm, she reaches out again this month as I rediscover LEX... coincidence?... well, she is where all my LEX addresses and pen-pal addresses and anything else that was vital to any sort of paper identity were lost, after all... kind of one of those eerie Robert Klein giggles, with a stinger, if you know what I mean) is odd... but I still love odd too... I have all the back issues (at least back to issue 5 or 6) in storage in NY (unless those were lost in Toronto as well... ah, such a fool I was to trust so much... and these are not the deepest cuts, ya know)... anyway, now I just need to scrounge up the $ for joining up again... I was LEX# 9406 last time I was there (I think I had a lower number the first time around, but then, I can say the same about ICQ and other forums that I joined when they first began and then drifted away from along my long and winding wanderings)... anyway... I slept most of the day and must rush out to 16 hours of work now, but I just wanted to record this excitement right now even as Precious just walked in and is working hard to get my attention cuz she's just returning from seeing her school play (they did Ragtime, I think) and she wants to buble over about it but I am gonna be late for work if I stick around so I'm off to see the wizard of the night shift and I hope you find your life even more exciting and fun than mine... keep smiling and sharing...
