What the hell is writer’s block? A chemical imbalance? Depression? Laziness? Who knows.

The contender, the Champion.
Well, I keep reading about how many people get lucky while just perusing antique shops while I never had much myself. I eventually considered all that as an urban legend, but I found this. The weird thing is that the serial number on it is K 41954. Right. I might have missed something on the …
So maybe we’ve been down.
We’ve watched the news, seen some devastation, harm, grief, and you may perceive that all you expected to be potentially there, ahead is now grounded. Maybe it’s time to get grounded by releasing some weight, that pressure, if even just a little at a time, at an easy pace. It can’t hurt. That’s all I’ve …
What the hell have I woken up to?

Underwood Noiseless Portable
Mr. Martin Quezada, the typewriter resurrectionist at International Office Machines in San Gabriel, CA finished touching up my oldest machine ( I think, as the exact date is a question) and it is looking fine at the office. I would use another, like the Rocket, Remington, or the KMM (which is next to be revived) …
