So... tell me how long your pen is?




Mine is a good ten inches. And has other uses, too.

and "Down in the Valley" --- too busy getting ready for my 50th High School Reunion. We fly out of Portland, OR to Florida this weekend. Just in time for the weathercasters to downgrade their predictions about "named hurricanes" for the rest of the season until Nov. 30th. Hurrah!

Nice to see you on the DU!

In peace,

54. Don't forget to cap it when not in use.




Otherwise the ink could spill out into places it's not supposed to be and cause all sorts of problems.


We want you practicing safe writing out there.

27. It certainly does. And they come in so many size and color variations.




This one here is... um... garlic, I think. Yep, garlic. Gotta be. A lovely and unusual desktop gift for the discriminating vegetarian or chef in your life:









See? Garlic!

14. Pen size does not matter
It is the quality of the pen. That's what everyone with a short pen claims.

57. My current pen is in pretty bad shape...
I find one I like and use and use it until it finally just falls apart. I have a habit of holding my pens and beating them on my desk like playing a drum. The constant tapping tapping tapping of my pen is driving my co-workers crazy.
