In the absence of a new quote this week, here's a substitute.

 

Love comforteth like sunshine after rain Shakespeare

Everybody's so good!

 

I've been practicing a lot as usual, but nothing to show particularly. Hopefully, the times of having nothing to show will develop skills to show, if you see what I mean!

 

Anyway, a bit of catch-up. This is a shameless and yet shameful interpretation of one of Ken's interpretations, with a slight hiccough in the flourish - hope you don't mind, Ken, but everyone says to copy the masters - and that's you!

 

(For those interested in the equally badly shot pens: Watermans Canadian Dauntless (unmarked 352?) body from 1946-ish with an older FDW marked English Ideal nib from my Great Grandpa, and a MacNiven and Cameron Waverley Standard for the bigger letters... I forget the ink, bog-standard Pilot Blue-Black?)

Yours,
Randal

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

Hi everybody!
I want to propose a quote for the next week:

 

“If you don't make mistakes, you're not working on hard enough problems. And that's a big mistake.”

Thanks, Andrew! I've been too busy making mistakes this week to come up with a quote. (I'm starting to work on copperplate script.)
