Or flirt with living. <br /><br />When I was in high school my dad brought my sister and I each a typewriter like that, he'd picked them up from a friend who was cleaning out his junk. I'm sad to say it disappeared in one of my many moves through college.<br /><br />Beautiful little getaway. :) Love it!Birgitte Necessaryhttp://www.necessarywriters.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423907132654588993.post-71713108580702386872010-07-05T18:19:07.168-04:002010-07-05T18:19:07.168-04:00Nice digs, Bryan, but I can see how 112 degrees co...Nice digs, Bryan, but I can see how 112 degrees could be a problem!J.

But this all begs one question: <br /><br />They have sunshine in Windsor?<br /><br />Kidding of course but I have to admit your writing desk is enviable. Not just the desk either, I should say writing space.<br /><br />For me I write anywhere and everywhere. The best and most enjoyable writing I have ever done was while keeping a small hand written journal while living out of a backpack in the Cabinet Mountains in Montana. Then again the MOST writing I've ever gotten done was in my cubicle at work.<br /><br />I'm aware that that's depressing but hey, it is what it is.<br /><br />I do have one pet peeve. I CANNOT type on a laptop. I don't know exactly why. I mean I can use one of course, but I have to connect a USB keyboard with large, clicky keys.Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423907132654588993.post-49141405085146444592010-07-03T20:22:56.422-04:002010-07-03T20:22:56.422-04:00Sancho Panza is a most excellent accessory.
