Well I did say that I supposed I am an old fart.....
Lol, no worries. I'm an old fart as well. I had to face either using technology like Facebook & cell phone texting to talk to my kids (who live in Florida now with their mom), or basically barely talk to them at all.
My son will talk to me on the phone for maybe 15 minutes before he's done... my daughter more like 2 minutes. But they will both text me all day long.
Adopt, adapt & conquer as they say in the military (or something like that).
