Cursive, foiled again!
WKYC mentions that less emphasis placed on cursive. To which I say huzzah! Wait… maybe I shouldn’t make my point using a centuries old interjection.

I know a sub who noted...

I always like that it’s “Canada Geese”, not “Canadian”. There should be a reality show where they battle “America Ducks”.

Blog update
Good news for the 6 finitejest.com groundlings out there — last week I discontinued pulling my Twitter feed in as blog posts. Those that follow me on Twitter had already seen it, and I think for others it was likely just confusing. Sorry, it was an experiment.

I have a terrible feeling that we’re going to see a lot of that Hey Butler monkey.
How many different Denny’s do you think I could visit between 6am and 2pm?
Of course, Kent State, Miami (Ohio), and Ohio State alum won this thing, so there’s some solace…
Dissatisfying for Northeast Ohio, maybe, but one heck of a Superbowl.

The non-throwing arm of quarterbacks is always a fascinating study in palsy. Can physics explain why they all hyper-pronate their off arm?
