She knows the secret to staying young by keeping involved, that's great!

As for the typewriter, we found an old Royal at a flea market, bought it for five bucks, man is it ever fun to clack away at it for awhile. Very soothing, I love that sound. How the heck did we ever have the strength in our fingers to hit those keys hard enough, my god, I didn't realize I had become so used to the feather-light touch needed with the computer keyboard until I tried typing on a typewriter again.

The damn things never crash, I'll give them that much. Hard to send email with 'em, though.
