We saw my wife’s family twice this week, New Year’s day and Friday night.


Her aunt is really enjoying the iPad and doing OK with getting it to work. The main thing she wants to use it for is showing it off to the people at her pool in her retirement village. Whatever works for her.

Based on something ms_danson said last month about teaching herself to write in a different script, I’ve decided to try writing my notes at work in cursive instead of block letters.
This is the first time I’ve used cursive writing since high school. I admit I had to go back and see how some of the letters were made.
I’m not saying it is great hand writing, but it isn’t worse than what it was.

It might get better as I keep practicing. Maybe not. We’ll see.

When I was in second or third grade, I got an award for the best penmanship in my class. Sadly, it has been going downhill since then. When I focus on it, I can write very clearly and some might say "pretty". But, so many years of typing on keyboards, and printing in block letters in lab notebooks and writing numbers/equations has left my cursive writing skills a mere shadow of their former selves, too.
