With my ATFs an e-mail every once in while is about normal. If they are going to be in the area I may get a short "Hey sweety I will be in town next week" type of message. We may send funny things back and forth on occassion. I had made mention to Alecia that when her calendar was ready to let me know she sent me an email. A phone call can come at an occward time but the email can be answered the next day when the other person has time to answer. I hate text messages as they will take up more time than a phone call.
