A writer without a tape recorder

I have never looked 10 hours for anything in my life...but my tape recorder. My digital tape recorder is a part of my life blood. A writer without her tape recorder is like a dentist without a drill or a swimmer without water. I guess I could have resorted to chalk and pavement or slate and rock, but I really did not want to. What drove me the most was the fact that I had three interviews on there that I desperately needed. I finally gave up and went out and bought another one, but to my old tape recorder...it's on! I will find you and hunt you down. You will be mine!
