A great line on drunkeness

A cute line from an article in Wired about absinthe:

“Americans drink to get drunk. Whereas in France, getting drunk is just a consequence of sampling too much wine you really like.”

Another attempt to change my handwriting

Lifehacker had a link to a page of handwriting tips. Last year I made the switch to a much better pen-holding grip, so maybe this is the next step. Apparently, I am supposed to be writing with my arm rather than with my fingers. Go figure. At the moment this technique has returned my handwriting to about 3rd grade level.
