Wearing a different hat

About a year and a half ago, Bob was pretty depressed by his health. He began writing in his spare time to help his attitude. It started as memories and then this spring he has expanded into fictional stories that are longer. He writes by hand and is very awkward on the keyboard. I had promised him some time ago that I would type for him. I started on it today. Actually it seems I am both typist and editor. That is okay. It makes him happy. So that is most of what I have done today.

That's great that Bob is writing. I used to write tons of articles, stories and reviews. Have a good weekend. How is Bob doing? How about you?

Hey as long as you can do it for him. My husband is the same way. I'm the typist in my family.

There are a lot worse things we could do.

The local library board member thinks it would be a good idea.

I should think you would find it quite interesting.

I think that is wonderful for you to help Bob with his stories. I am sure that is something that helps him, to keep his mind off of the medical issues he has to deal with.

Now he does it for entertainment and it is a really positive thing. Neither of us wants to be the typical old person.
