Luddites

For me, reading a paper book is infinitely more satisfying than reading the same words on a screen. Wearing hand-knit socks brings a special kind of comfort you can't get from store bought socks. And macaroni and cheese from a box can't compare to what you make from scratch.
I got a new typewriter this week as a bit of decor to go by my writing desk. None of the kids can walk past it without punch a few keys and swinging the arm back to make it ding. It's not pen and ink (though I like that, too) but it holds a certain appeal that a computer lacks.
Not that I would EVER want to go back to writing on a typewriter, but it has a nice aura.
