A Surprising End to a Long Day

This has been a long, but fairly mediocre day. I won't bore you (or myself) with the details. Days like this usually leave me feeling sort of drained and limp. Imagine my surprise when I tapped out three paragraphs plus dialog; almost a full page! Good work, self. Now let's see how much of that survives editing.

On a side note, late last night Dave pointed out that my Royalite lacks an exclamation point. Given that I've had this typewriter for months now, I don't know how that detail escaped my attention, save that I haven't needed the exclamation point yet. After a little investigation, I figured out the trick: you type the ' then track back one space and add a period, creating a "!"

Chalk up another one on the arcane Ludite knowledge board.
