At the time I didn't mind so much (heck, I was only 9), but now I am so disappointed at my deteriorated half-cursive, which looks quite ugly. I've actually been looking around NYC for penmenship classes but have found none. <BR/><BR/>Even when my grandmother was 95 and half-blind, she could still write more legibly and beautifully than I could no matter how hard I tried.Cullen Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236957954996740924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-10355794395343630132009-01-26T19:52:00.000-06:002009-01-26T19:52:00.000-06:00My mother, both sisters, and wife all have beautif...My mother, both sisters, and wife all have beautiful handwriting.

I was never any good at it to begin with; I've managed to adopt a halfway decent signature for checks and/or documents, and that's about the extent of it.<BR/><BR/>My longhand is atrocious, too, now that I think of it.
