Yes, I was awakened from a dream of a typographical error. Must be from the first electric Smith-Corona portable made in 1957. My dear AL bought it that year and became an English teacher.
She gave the Smith-Corona to me on my high school graduation and it has been all over the country since that time and pre-desktop and laptop the envy of my dorm.
In the meantime whenever we used her “powder room” there was a dictionary there and I was instructed to come out with a new word and describe it.
I placed a call to her yesterday hoping all is well, but then I dreamed of a typo. Dee
ps Our place is redolent of stew smells and I can’t open windows because it’s 3 degrees. My desk is a cold place but the Beef Carbonnade was tasty. Beef, onions, bacon and beer. It needs to simmer another hour or two, as the gas stove was flaky and that pot can’t go in the oven.
