Alan C. has honored me by bestowing upon me an amazing machine. It is an olde-tymey typewriter. I figure I can glue my cell phone to it and still have more capability than any computer built before 1992.

I am excited. I did not have my cell phone for a few days and I enjoyed the feeling. I don't think I've held my head up for such a long period of time in years. How odd to see everyone like little meerkats. Heads down, hunched, then popping up and looking around, return to their little machines. Like squirrels perhaps, eternally examining a nut.

Quite a nut.
