I met with my rabbi yesterday afternoon for coffee. My plan was to discuss some halachic concerns I have encountered since returning to attending shul every week. Like most of our conversations, I distracted myself by going off on tangents and sideways into rabbit holes. This is not bad with my rabbi, as I always learn something new from him; however, I didn't get to cover the questions I had prepared beforehand.
The solution, at least the one I am trying now, is to type up a letter to the rabbi (using my trusty Royal Custom from 1964) and mail it to him via snail mail. Hopefully, this will allow me to stay on topic and broach some of the questions I might feel are embarrassing or difficult to discuss in person.
The first letter is written and ready to drop in the post. It was almost atrocious to see how bad my typing skills have become over the years and how dependent upon spell-checking and autocorrecting I have become.
