Handwriting, again

My fantastic friend FLASH gave me a gift

of handwriting analysis by a famous

British handwriting psychic.

(I’ll probably tell you what she says.)

She requires cursive

and I print so I’m hoping she’ll make

an exception. I’ve had my

handwriting analyzed many times,

including by my old friend Aldo Pellini,

worth a book himself. (Not today.)

Aldo, an Italian from Jamaica Plains who

studied handwriting for years refused

to show anyone particularly people

he knew what his own handwriting looked like

but after some years he decided he’d show his hand.

Also Aldo had many boxes of the same

greeting card with two partridges on the cover.

For 21 years Aldo sent me the same birthday

card with only these words: Love Aldo
