Jottings (Timely and Otherwise)

Thoughts about watches, fountain pens, pencils, other writing instruments, reading, writing, social and economic justice, politics and whatever else may cross my mind.

    I inked my smooth sterling 75 today (one of two, actually). First time in years. Here's a blogpost from a couple of years ago -- put up by a fellow addict, err..."enthusiast".

  2. Parker Sonnet

    In the past few days, I've had an impulse to ink up my collection of Parker Sonnets -- for the first time in many, many months. I've always liked the size and shape of these pens. Like the Parker 75, which the Sonnet was created to replace, these pens are a very user friendly size and shape. They are not overwhelmingly big or heavy. They are not, by and large, super ostentatious. In short, Sonnets are designed to be comfortable for long use, day in and day out.
