Dressing up what goes for serious conversations these days in a beautiful cursive style is like the proverbial lipstick on a pig.

Maybe we should consider ditching the pig, or at least providing some attractive side dishes, rather than catering to the pig.

Once in a while, I will write a letter in cursive to an old friend for whom I have an e-mail address. It never fails to please.

Once in a while, I will write a letter in cursive to an old friend for whom I have an e-mail address. It never fails to please.
Writing letters is a lost art. Our parents wrote a letter and if they got a reply in two weeks they were happy. E-mail we expect a reply in a day or so. Twitter - in minutes. It's a nano second world but that requires nano sized thoughts. No more "letters dated 1962, he had underlined in red every I love you". Heck, getting kids to read a book is tough enough. For those who can write a coherent thought the world is waiting.
