Finally got together with a few of the pen folks again, and had a lovely time. One person has some stunning Japanese pens – these may have to go onto my wish list, if maybe not shopping list for this poor professor. Another had several really lovely Pelikans, which only confirms a Pelikan as my next big pen purchase. And I say big purchase both in size – I love big pens, and price – they don’t come cheap (well, for me, anyway! Seems some folks out there have snagged some enviable deals!)


All in all, it’s got me back to being fired up about fixing up some of my project pens, and maybe (gulp!) thinning my collection down a bit. First step will be fixing what can be fixed, deciding which of those to keep, which to sell, and which to simply give away with full caveats. Then, perhaps I’ll turn my eye to thinning the regular collection!

(Can you believe that I really miss taking notes in classes? I don’t get to use pens anywhere near as much!)

Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.
