The fountain pen and the artist’s garret hit me. I have a fountain pen on my desk that I keep meaning to clean and use for the authentic correspondence — the thick tome-like letters I dream of writing in an artist’s garret! Thank you, Jim for your beautiful wriring.
You had me at onion skin. That was affordable class to this freshman. The Michelob of stationary. I restarted cursive letter writing again about a year ago, very ambitiously at first, but set it aside after two letters.
Re: Bev. Me too Jim! The humor and nostalgia for actual writing really struck home. Love letters especially, but all kinds of authentic correspondence are quickly falling by the wayside. Sadly, an emoji isn’t quite a substitute. And thank goodness a few people still love to write.

This is one of my faves. The package of letters landing with a "thump" had me laughing out loud. Brilliant writing, as usual!
