Good Dating Practices

Have you ever watched those 1950's instructional videos? They can be silly but sometimes I wish we still had them. I know a lot of people that would benefit from this simple and direct advice on dating.
Some highlights: "All boy huddles and all girl huddles carried on too long can get to be a bore"
"Party skill is gained by just one thing; practice and more practice"
"All it required was a little courage and good etiquette. Etiquette that is based on nothing more than consideration of others"
"Lack of consideration can spoil our partners good time."

If you have 11 minutes to spare I recommend giving this a go.

Bad Handwriting

I am ashamed at my lack of good penmanship. I have often been told that I write wrong. I grip the pencil between my thumb and forefinger and then tend to cock my wrist at a 90 degree angle. I also write in a drawn out cursive, mostly because my print letters are embarrassing. I wonder why my writing is so awful but a new article in Time draws attention to "the death of handwriting". The article is worth the read and makes me feel a little better about my own atrocious script. After reading through it I feel comfortable blaming my public school education (sorry Ms. Merrill).
