I took typing in high school at my mother's prompting. I enjoyed the class. I've always been grateful ever since to have taken it because the computer age has really required a great knowledge of the key board to work efficiently at anything computer related, say blogging.
Today it occurred to me that I have no idea how fast I type, though my children are all amazed at my flashing fingers. I figured I must type at least 60wpm. I took a
typing test on line today, and lo and behold, I was right! I type at 64wpm, either zero or only one mistake each time I tried. Lest you think you will memorize the passage, they change it every time to re-test!
Oh, and being a book fiend, I just loved the fact that the typing test uses passages from great books! All of mine were from English literature. Since the site is from the UK that is no surprise. No Austen on my tests, but that would have been cheating. I have definitely memorized bits of Austen, not out of an attempt to remember but rather out of a love of Austen!
Just for fun, give it a go!

Your secret stash of chocolate melts in its cool dark hiding place; that spot no one knows about but you! Just one more reason I am glad fall is on the horizon! Not that I mind melted chocolate, but I cannot eat all that has melted in one sitting. And if I wanted melted chocolate...well that is what Nutella is for :). Off to lick more chocolate off my fingers...
