Del's first postcard arrived yesterday--I guess SF mail is more efficient than East Bay mail, as Cassie's sometimes took days. Talk about the material text--there was a word I couldn't make out because part of the back of the card had torn off, which I guess made it even more interesting.

It was strange to start writing postcards before I'd gotten anything from Del--I had to write two that way--simply because of the delay of the post. A bit like knowing starlight is ten million years old.
