I like the way my handwriting looks for the 2 seconds between getting written my hand dragging through it.<br /><br />Anymore, though, I don't even <i>know</i> what my handwriting looks like. I type faster than I write. Hell, I type faster than I <I>think</i>. Last year, I was at the grocery store, paying for my food with a check card, and when I signed the receipt, I used my right hand. <i>I'm left-handed</i>. <br /><br />I moved to Canada 5 months ago, and when I sign receipts up here, a lot of the cashiers keep my card to check the signature on the back to the one on the receipt. Nobody's said anything yet, but I'm quite certain that none of it matches.<br /><br />Awesome that your daughter enjoys the art gallery so much. I haven’t used a fountain pen since I was in Germany.
