Today is National Handwriting Day, sponsored by the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association. John and I differ a good deal on the importance of good handwriting, and others of you who are close to me will probably agree with John when he complains, "people, including and especially students, write like barbarians." I don't really have the moral indignance about bad handwriting, but I am utterly amazed (and I admit a little charmed) by the limits of legibility. Anyhow, in the spirit of the day, I have handwritten a blog entry (and then taken a digital picture of each page).
