On signatures
I am tired already of the fuss over the signature of Jack Lew, possible next Treasury secretary.
Partly, I think, because it is a dumb signature. The name Jack Lew written out really doesn’t look like a saggy Slinky, so I don’t know why he ever came up with it.
But I still find myself oddly fascinated by this link to a lot of the signatures of people who signed our money over the years. The variety in handwriting, I think, is intriguing.
I always wanted to have A) good handwriting and B) a really classy signature. I got neither.
