I think I must be 0-6 on wallets over the past two decades. Each one, destroyed by me stuffing it full of receipts. No more. I say those who don&#8217;t study history, with regard to their wallets, are doomed to repeat history with regard to their wallets! Well, I&#8217;ve studied my history. So alright then.<br \/>\nIn related &#8220;fresh-start&#8221; news, I&#8217;ve decided I&#8217;m giving up on cursive. I gave cursive a fair chance. But who am I kidding? I can&#8217;t read my own cursive. What good is a writing style that the writer themselves can&#8217;t read? I might as well bark at a piece of paper and then put it aside as if I&#8217;ve accomplished something. Arf!<br \/>\nOh, I&#8217;ll still &#8220;sign&#8221; for things, but if you&#8217;ve seen my signature you know, that&#8217;s not cursive.<br \/>\nI know what you&#8217;re thinking. &#8220;Cecil,&#8221; you&#8217;re thinking, &#8220;how many times have we heard you say you&#8217;re going to give up cursive?&#8221; I guess three times, probably. But this is the first time I&#8217;ve said it sober.<br \/>\nSo it&#8217;ll be mostly print for me from here on out. Maybe a cursive &#8220;s&#8221; or &#8220;t&#8221; mixed in just to keep things rolling. Possibly a &#8220;z.&#8221; You didn&#8217;t expect me to give up cursive &#8220;z,&#8221; did you?<br \/>\nLook out world, I&#8217;ve got a flat wallet and handwriting humans can read!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I bought a new wallet last weekend and this time I&#8217;m gonna get it right.
