Tenement Museum box.

Darlene got me a birthday present months ago, when she was visiting The Tenement Museum in New York.

She said she spied it in a dark corner of the gift shop and swept in to buy it.

It’s made of keyboard keys — we think from a computer, perhaps, like a Nexus/Lexis kind of thing — but that

doesn’t really matter, because when I opened it, I screamed.  It felt like it was keyboard keys — and that’s

what’s important.

I carried it home carefully, and stacked the top on the bottom of it, and it fits that way too.

Inside I have my most-used typewriter cards, within arm’s length of my Olympia Compact II — also given to me by Darlene.

I used one of her ‘library cards’ she’d given me at another time to complete the “Darlene Trifecta”.
