Today I used writing in a way I never have before. I thought my day would be spent in Kent attending the EHHS Doctoral Forum and having lunch with a friend, but a foot of snow changed those plans.
Did you know you can save yourself hours of shoveling a long driveway by sending a text message, such as "Please plow 555 Street Address," to my neighbor? It's amazing how much I accomplished with one sentence and $25 cash (worth every penny, BTW). He replied with "Sure" and stopped by the house a few hours later. He then texted back letting me know I could leave the cash in his mailbox down the street. Thanks to the convenience of technology, and writing, one can clear a foot of snow from the driveway with 30 seconds' effort.

How cool in different ways! First, that you were able to save yourself time and effort, but secondly, you were able to view the situation as a connection to the impact that technology and writing have on our lives.
