1. Get to Herm...Nothing too ambitious ... (laughs) <br />1. Get to Herman Price's gathering in West Virginia and meet my heroes, Richard Polt, Herman, Peter Weil, Alan Seaver and Will Davis in person.<br />2. Write the great Australian-Irish-New Zealand novel on a typewriter. Just an an ordinary autobiography will suffice.<br />3. Get my hands on a decent Underwood 5, a nice Groma (non-Kolibri) would be good, and a Klein Torpedo especially.<br />4. Merge all typewriters with their cases (labelled) - would help storage so much!<br />That'll keep me going for this year.<br /><br />Robert Messengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366507489948676594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558523755501505700.post-83981061878388063612013-01-21T05:05:17.374-05:002013-01-21T05:05:17.374-05:00I can never stick to resolutions, so I don't m...I can never stick to resolutions, so I don't make any.
