I still make an effort to write a little note in birthday and Christmas cards and I always use a felt tip pen that matches the card. It's kind of an OCD thing.geewitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11590044820333720010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18287683.post-88987740285711248802008-11-28T15:55:00.000-05:002008-11-28T15:55:00.000-05:00A friend of mine sent me an actual letter not that...A friend of mine sent me an actual letter not that long ago.

In heaven, everybody's an amateur.<BR/><BR/>You don't want to see my actual handwriting. It used to be so good. Now it looks like the electrocardiogram of a frightened rhinoceros. <BR/><BR/>Here's a 'tink' to my fellow honorees, scribblers, and frightened rhinoceroses, wherever they may be.

No reason why he shouldn't be, of course.<BR/><BR/>I saw your comment on my blog on Beaujolais nouveau. You're right it IS sort of unfinished.
