http://mediaorigin.paleycenter.org/ Denise Avchen and I went for a walk several months ago… and happened upon the Paley Center for Broadcasting Museum in Beverly Hills. I knew there was a typewriter exhibit there — of major collector Steve Soboroff’s machines — and so we stopped by to admire them. Denise got a shot of me geeking…
I moved into an office today. With my friend and fellow typewriter lover, Louise A. Marler. I’m going to start my book. Finally. Now is the time. “LOVE LETTERS: MY TYPE OF THANK YOU”. With over 1,000 posts on my blog in the last year — and hundreds of letters I’ve written — I’m going…
Denise Avchen and I walked into Beverly Hills to have lunch — and along the way, we stopped to see Steve Soboroff’s exhibit at The Paley Center … and I fell in love with his collection. He typed a line from each machine below, a very cool idea. Please Share
Danielle Steele, who’s America’s best-selling author and has written more than 100 books, types all of hers on a 1946 Olympia manual typewriter. She’s worth more than $385 million, “Celebrity Net Worth” reports.

I took my ailing Olympia Compact 2 to Star Office Machines to have Pedro look at it one more time. ‘”Something’s wrong with the carriage, ” I told Ermanno, who doesn’t usually look at such lowlife. “Right here,” Ermanno pointed. “It should be catching. Pressure’s off.” He was right of course. It took less than two…
Louise A. Marler, a typewriter artist, and I went to Star Office Machines today to see Ermanno, our favorite mechanic. We’re prepping for a proposal on — guess what? — and needed Ermanno’s thoughts. We got to see some really cool machines — our version of ‘kicking tires’. Our master mechanic wasn’t there but his associate Pedro…
I‘m finally clearing through stacks of papers I’d cleverly hidden in pea green Container Store boxes. During Christmas, I couldn’t keep up with the influx of papers/gifts/magazines & catalogues, so I coped by sticking them out of sight. The only problem? “Out of sight, out of mind.” * My Mom preferred doing anything over housekeeping. So…

Kim Sajet, Director of the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. and I became friends the first week she was on the job. Since then she’s batted it out of the park with major exhibitions. She invited me to come back for one this month, but I couldn’t get there… she had a perfect gift…
