the opposite of that particular problem for yours truly.
I am cursed by
Cursive as my penmanship borders on the exquisite, according to the
critics. I dare say the
Tribune's own respected critic, Christopher Borrelli would call
them "must see P's" ,along with all the other
letters I fashion into
works of art. But don't hate me because my penmanship is beautiful.
Invariably, when I
sign for something or must submit something hand written, the person
inspecting the
document remarks about my handw riting handiwork. Someday I will be asked to autograph my
own name, something the world has never seen nor expressed any desire to do so.
I have been told
more than a few times: "You write like a girl" which may be sexist as
well as a compliment to
an entire gender and a swipe at my masculinity
but no matter.
That note to the Tribune
reassures me that I am keeping Cursive hope alive on the few occasions I
use it.It's
a pity
email has hidden my light beneath a bushel.
People clamor to be
on my Christmas card list just to see my handwriting . In a few short
months you will
see it in all its glory. If I can get the stupid pen to
work, I mean.
