I learned how to type on a manual typewriter similar to that one, and I really kind of miss pounding on the keys.<br /><br />How sweet of your grandfather to watch you like that, and see right into your heart. what a nice memory.~ellen~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00315658592077559215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-19641692570357890372011-11-14T13:39:29.962-05:002011-11-14T13:39:29.962-05:00A portable typewriter, immediately suggesting that...A portable typewriter, immediately suggesting that we could go and write other places. I wish I had all the ones I'd let go, wish I had the heavy-as-an-anvil Underwood upright from my newspaper days. A photo that must have felt as though someone had looked into you and knew just what you were made of. xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-1233641779620037322011-11-12T15:58:16.370-05:002011-11-12T15:58:16.370-05:00Yes, love that typewriter.

I read somewhere that Jonathan Franzen said he had to destroy all the internet connectivity on his computer in order to write on it without succumbing to distraction.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02307534252847118376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-80090825418686646432011-11-12T12:28:53.445-05:002011-11-12T12:28:53.445-05:00I used to type with a manual, too -- which seems i...I used to type with a manual, too -- which seems incredible now.

I had several as a kid, teenager and then college student and regret discarding them. <br /><br />What a gorgeous photo -- the perfect thing to post above one's desk as part of a the perfect desk.
