Epistle of the Postulant

Via Eric, a reader, SOS relishes the retro

pleasures of a wonderfully written

– handwritten – letter.

It’s by a Chicago blogger whose gym’s

cancellation policy insists that you send

them a letter you penned yourself.

    Every time I read “slothful elliptically-allergic goo-piles” I can’t stop laughing for at least a full minute.

  3. Townsend Harris Says:

    She had me at “twenty-aught ten”.

  4. Margaret Soltan Says:

    Yes, I started loving it that early too, Townsend.

    It’s a great shame that the elementary schools aren’t teaching cursive any more. My own kids can’t do it; I’m thinking of having tutorials at home.

  6. theotherprofessor Says:

    huh. The “aught” was great. But “techo,” “whom dare,” and “correspondance,” not so much.

    Chime on the cursive issue, though. Yesterday I found a library card on the sidewalk, and knew just from the lovely signature that its owner was at least 60.

  7. Margaret Soltan Says:

    theotherprofessor: Right. The letter is not without its weak points. I love it anyway.
