Later more on the calluses, but first this: Yesterday I wrote an instruction on how to use certain buttons on a ‘dumb’ phone, for my father. It was on a paper with a photo of the phone keyboard on it, whereon I wrote it by hand. Since, apparently, I don’t write as much by hand anymore, I noticed that my handwriting has decreased in neatness, and style. Where I use to get compliments for my print-ish looking style… No more. Thanks,Obama. I don’t think, or can’t recall at least, I ever had a callus from writing by hand. What I did have though, were calluses, and indentations on my middle finger and index finger, from holding brushes, when I was a house painter. The index finger even had a slight bow in it.
