Unknown but Desirable Territory

In high school I took typing....typing on a typewriter not a computer...and in college, we wrote our papers and typed them...

My mother never told her age...and sometimes lied about it...and I do not tell mine now...but I am old enough to relate to The Help. I have not seen the movie, nor have I read the book.  I will, but I have seen the previews often enough and heard people's remarks. I am finishing The Penny, co-authored by Joyce Meyer and Deborah Bedford. My favorite book to teach to middle schoolers was Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli. These two deal with the period of segregation.

Anyway, I just want to blog. I want to blog about the present adventures, if they can be called that...I want to blog about things that I have a belief and opinion about, and yet ask questions of those that know more than I do about the ramifications of things like S & P lowering the United States' credit rating...and isn't this a sign of the end times?

Wouldn't it be fun to have one of those antiquated typewriters? It would be fun to use creatively.
On another line-what is "The Penny" about?
