Letter output.
Sometimes my best exercise is running outside from my office to post another letter in my mailbox. I like to do it one at a time. My own sad little form of cardio. We had to order a bigger one to accommodate my productivity. I had oral surgery yesterday afternoon — not very painful, thanks…

Artful imagery of my favorite machine.
A red, white & blue typewriter? What an impressive image. How cool that with a few sprays of paint, the imagery shines through… Please Share

Passport cameraman/typewriter fan.
I dropped in to an unknown passport photographer yesterday. My hair wasn’t perfect, it was a hot day, and I didn’t do any prep — but Vin said we needed to get new photos for some travel paperwork and I needed to do it pronto. The YELP reviews for Benny’s shop seemed fine, and he…

Intimacy in the spray tan booth.
http://www.portofinobeverlyhills.com/ I had a spray tan today at Portofino, my favorite (and only) place for that sort of thing.

Danielle Steele has written more than 100 books on her typewriter.
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’d say there’s got to be some connection between hand, heart & bank accounts … maybe I need an older typewriter! http://www.celebritynetworth.com/authors/danielle-steel-net-worth/…

“Pink Drinks” and The Peninsula.
Sharon Arnett, head of Post Production at Vin Di Bona Productions and I made a spontaneous lunch date with our friend Ava. At the last minute, we changed our plans — and Sharon, who was waiting for us at the Peninsula, graciously offered to bring lunch to us… instead of having Ava and me run…
