It’s a colorful world.

Some people have my number.

I have distinct preferences.

Chocolate, preferably See’s.  Bridge Mix, not truffles.

Work-out clothes, lacy or colorful.

Shoes, 4″ height max.

But when it comes to typewriters — any kind’s OK.

Kim DeMarco knows my taste.

She’s got excellent style herself.

A RISD alumna, an illustrator whose work has graced the front page of

The New Yorker… and the co-creator of the phrase, “Thanksgvivikuh”, a feat

so great it got her invited to the White House.

As I said, Kim’s got great style.  Could have been a personal shopper in another life.

She nailed it with this box of typewriter cards from Chronicle Books.

Each one more delightful than the next.

It was like going through a catalogue and liking something on every page.

I was smiling the entire time I leafed through the box.

I dashed off a note to her tonight so I can use the cards right away.

(My rule is:  “Do not use if you have not thanked.”)
