In an all out effort to remove myself from the constant barrage of war talk, I have picked up an old hobby...postcard collecting. Oh my goodness! It has changed dramatically in the 8 years or so that I've been away! The Internet makes it much easier to find other collectors. Yahoo clubs have been very good, as much as I hate to admit it. I have come upon many wonderful souls in other countries and here in the US interested in postcard correspondence. Ah...escapism
