For quite some years after I left Pittsburgh to live with
my daughter’s family in Mexico City, I emailed to friends in Pittsburgh and at
other places where I had lived earlier. I got some responses, though of course
by no means from everyone.
But for
the last few weeks I’ve conducted an experiment: I did not send an email to any
Pittsburgh and prior acquaintance to see if I would e-hear from any. The
result: silence, nada, niente, rien. So I’ll now also stop badgering them.
I’m not
at all upset about that; I’ve been gone for quite a while. I’ve just exchanged
emails with a friend who goes back to Heidelberg, a very long time ago. So I
don’t lack connections with my past.
But I do wish those
relations to be two-way. I do hope that some of my friends follow my blog,
since that’ all they will now get from me unless—I hear from them.
