Time Marches On
Just realized that March is almost over. Where does it go? I have achieved my goal of "Do"-ing more, although, not as much as I'd like. I'm having a hard time concentrating on what to write, maybe because I can't multitask, as much as I used to. My old brain only seems to have one part opened at a time (at least to be able to concentrate on writing). I have been reminded lately of what I did for about a month in 1982. I had a newfangled typewriter, a Brother EP20, which was an electronic one which would type letters like p, q, g, y, etc., all above line. It took batteries, as well as an AC plug. I would sit on the couch in the evenings, after our baby, Nate, was asleep. I used that typewriter, on my lap, and wrote journal entries. I only kept it up for about a month, but I was so proud of that accomplishment. The typewriter had a little lcd window which would show what was typed. You could type about 20 characters before they would print to the page. I finally got rid of the typewriter after carting it around for years and not using it. I think it bothered me that those letters (g, et.al.) didn't print correctly. I have looked at those typewriters on ebay a lot lately, contemplating getting one again, although it is hard to get ribbon cartridges. It also would print to thermal paper, but I wonder if that would last through the years?
