Pattern Fun

[Anthony Romano]

You have to learn to write without looking and make your own copy. The 
scribe copies what you wrote.
  Does wonders for your hand writing. Dead silence early morning at the Nats 
I write eight and keep my eyes on the plane. My scribe rather loudly 
questions," Is that a zero?" The only person who didn't hear it was the guy 
in the hot dog truck. Who ever the pilot was I apologize.
