I just heard that song “Fishin’ in the Dark” and not only did I smile but I giggled. I don’t know if it’s because the person I thought about is adamant about not fishing in the dark or because knowing this makes me really want to go fishing in the dark.

I had my annual mammogram this morning and the man at the front desk and the female tech who did the exam were SOOOOOOO nice. I kinda didn’t want to leave.

Sure! It’s using an old school dip pen to create letters, slowly and carefully, as an art form. This is approximately what we did today in class:

… and this is what I very much want to learn to do:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencerian_script
In this class I learned what materials I really need to use to get it to look right, and how exactly to hold the pen. I’m going to use those skills to get to work with a book about Spencerian penmanship.

Oh, nice you must have very creative penmanship now I have never thought about improving this in my own life how interesting. how long did it take you to learn this?

 

[TheDude76]

I’ll have to let you know.

Calligraphy is art. Bamboo pens with India ink are the extent of my dip pen experience. You can create some really interesting line drawings but something as meticulous as calligraphy would be hard to achieve.

It's really cool, old school, and it's low budget. It's fun, funny, and entertaining. For me it also brings back memories when I was younger.

Today at the gym I told the girl at the desk I was interested in a personal trainer. She smiles and says she'll be right back. My son and I are looking out the door just talking about our day. Chippy girl comes back and has sex on a stick in tow. "This is Craig, he can help you". Im thinking oh hell no, how would I get anything accomplished staring and drooling. So I tell her I was thinking she could work with me or is that not part of her job. They both seemed confused. I then smiled and said I need motivation not distraction. My son patted my hand, Craig and Erin smiled then we got it all scheduled. My son told me as we got in the car he was proud of me for not getting salty. I smiled again showing teeth.

 

[user 188685]

That's awesome we need more people like them in the world

My son says, "you look pretty today" he takes a bite of his breakfast, chews, swallows, "you should wear your hair down more"......wait for it......teenager activated, " you don't look so old." All I can do is smile.
