Longing for the Days of the Traditional Love Note

Traditional Romantic: Flowers, love notes, home-made candlelight dinners, and books of poetry with hand-written inscriptions.

High-Tech Romantic: Sexy texts, flirtatious emails, dedicated blog following, and spontaneous instant messaging.

My husband is both traditional and high-tech. But, now he is has transformed into a high-tech, travelling show-off who sends me pictures like this:

Handsome Husband, here is a new rule: You can send me pictures of food only if the accompanying  innuendo is as thick and sugar-filled as the chocolate syrup in the picture. Otherwise, I will only accept personally crafted pen and ink drawings of the desserts that you are eating in Germany. A handwritten letter of your unbridled love enhanced by a few pieces of chocolate and an original poem all mailed with foreign postage would be much appreciated too.
