A different sort of post...





For the people who still can't read it (due to issues with the contrast or my shitty handwriting or whatever), it says...

I've been thinking about handwriting here lately, what with the new, improved, aspirational cookbook of which I am not worthy. I have, to be blunt, shit-tastic handwriting. It's ugly. It's a bastard crossbreed of printing and script and I don't seem to be able to shift all the way into one or the other anymore -- even with significant effort, the minute I stop concentrating, my handwriting drifts back into this shit.

I got terrible grades in handwriting in school. (Do they still teach handwriting to kids?) I don't do large stretches of handwriting anymore, not like I used to do in college. These days, so much as a thank-you letter has the muscles in my hand screaming that this is all a bit too much and I should just type. Tell me about your handwriting. (Better, y'know, to SHOW me your handwriting, but shit, that sets the bar pretty high for reader participation, donnit?)

I've shown you mine. Show me yours.

They still teach it. Second and third grade according to the state standards.

Mine is somewhat childish, but legible thanks to my second grade teacher Miss Snyder.
