How true it is. I had forgotten how to write. (Haven't written longhand since maybe 1985?) I found my first reaction today was that my hand was shaking when I tried to write. Shaking? Yes, I think it was. Then I muttered "calm down" and I began to write slowly, like a third-grader would. And finally I emitted a perfect replica of the handwriting chart that was always displayed above the blackboard in 1st, 2nd, 3rd grade (white chalkboard lettering on green background). And *I could actually still write*. (And then I had a flashback to writing "graffiti" on a Palm - but that's dead and gone, so thank the gods I can forget garffiti...) Fell on the floor laughing. I never thought this would happen. I can type 90wpm, but I can't write longhand any more. The times they are a changin'.

Fell on the floor laughing. I never thought this would happen. I can type 90wpm, but I can’t write longhand any more. The times they are a changin’.
