I got a kewl new logger for my birthday! Whaddya think?

My "new" (used) manual typewriter

OK, so I don’t really plan on logging with it. It’s just a nostalgia kind of thing, I guess:

While I was serving as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (a.k.a., The Mormons) I bought myself a little fire-engine red, manual typewriter. I loved that little thing, German key layout and all. I even got pretty good at typing on it—that means typing without many errors, something nigh unheard of in today’s culture of “the easy backspace.”

I have but one regret, regarding that typewriter. As it had a German key layout, I figured I should probably leave it in Germany for the next missionary who wanted a typewriter to use. I wish, wish, wish I had brought it home with me.

My Sweetie found this one for me on eBay, and surprised me with it for my birthday. Thanks so much, Sweetie! Who knows, once I have a real shack, it might just find its way down there, and I might even really do some logging with it. (Don’t hold your breath, though.)

[Yes, this is a little late; sue me.]

She’s not the “fairest in the land”,
Nor is she the smartest,
But she’s my Mom.

She’s not the fastest runner,
Nor is she bestest cook,
But she’s my Mom.

She’ll never win the spelling bee,
Nor the Nobel Prize,
But she’s my Mom.

She’s no Joan of Arc,
Nor a Madame Curie,
But she’s my Mom.
