Good morning, JD. Snow accumulated a little yesterday but it's all gone now. I'm better this morning. I just took some decongestant and Tylenol. Now a big mug full of coffee and I should be good.

Today I'm going to use my nearly empty Bexley Celebration until it runs out of ink (NI Bulletproof Black), so I can fill it with Namiki Blue. I may use my Namiki VP a bit, too.

I usually don't post anything here because I always take a VP to work. But at today, I'm using my Lamy Vista. I've had it for a while, and have replaced the medium nib with a fine, and loaded it with a new mix I call "New Old Bishop Street Blue Black" that looks very much like a vintage blue-black to my eye. I'm really happy about the ink, and the way my Vista writes.
Oh, it's around 2am here and I haven't even gone to sleep yet. Had to take care of a prob in the data center...

As I'm running late (thunderstorm at night/good, power outage and no alarm/bad), I'm attempting to bouy my spirits with a bright red Haolilai 616 and the omnipresent blue Duke carbon fiber.
And puzzling over what felt like a two-hour, incredibly detailed reworking of THE PRISONER. One of those dreams you just don't believe all the little details you cooked up. The small town that seemed endless...
Of course, after what happened to me, I may leave Kansas, just to be safe.

Still working with a blue Pelikan 600, fine, with Noodler's la couleur royale, but it's paired with a blue carbonesque VP, fine, with Noodler's la couleur royale, which looks like a completely different ink coming out of that pen.
Today it's: Pelikan M200 red translucent w/Diamine Monaco Red; Parker 51 Aerometric - forrest green w/gf converging lines cap w/Quink Black; Parker 61 Signet gf w/vintage Quink Blue Black; Lamy 2000 w/Omas Blue.
I have no time to post on Wednesday, so can I just post ahead of time?
I will attend a closing of a deal and sign for a number of parties by proxy. So I will be using Cross Townsend 18K (using Cross blue/black)
For general note-taking, Parker Sonnet matte black (using Parker blue/black).

I was just visiting the little town of Wausau, WI (trusty Pilot Custom black stripe in pocket). "Welcome to The Village!"
And while driving down the carefully obeyed speed limit streets (everyone was doing 35mph in the 35mph zone) there was a police car along side me with a big "02" on the side. I was tempted to roll down the window and ask "Excuse me, but could you take me to number 1?"
CS Duro, fine italic point, Wman Florida Blue
Pel M405, Italifine point, Diamine Monaco Red
Pel M200 Citroenpers, fine, PR DC blue.
Two blues makes it a very unusual spell for me...

No, you may not under any circustances post early. The very fabric that holds society will tear and life as we know it will be over.

So permit me then to recap how to day went. The closing was a mess. The pens performed admirably. The counterparty's financing arrangements did not perform admirably.
Today it is an Omas Milord Burgundy and a Visconti Tortoiseshell demonstrator.

Feel like going simple today.
"51" Cocoa w/ Waterman Havana
"51" Cordovan vac w/ Waterrman Blueblack
Both have F nibs(I'm guessing)
Might use "61" turquoise with Diamine Tropical Blue, too.

Well, I went in and looked about, but he has cleaned up his desk, and hidden them...sOOooooo
I snucked one of his fav's... And then I casually wandered into the living room where he was watching TV. He grinned at me saying something to the effect of..."You didn’t find them did you?" and then he laughed. I smirked and admitted I in fact did not, BUT ... I was holding hostage one of his favs until he told me where they could be found. The look on his face was indescribable.
I am feeling very, hmm...like I have kidnapped someone’s child or something. He demanded to know who (not which pen, but who) I had, I said I was not telling, but that he could rest assured I would, one by one, continue kidnapping pens until he told me. And IF he tried to get help they would be bound and tortured in some dark chamber of my studio. My imagination went wild, I could send limb (pen) parts through the mail as leverage! *cackles like a mad woman* And knowing JD, I know he was knowing that this is exactly what I was thinking as I grinned back at him. Its a good thing I can run faster than he can.
I thought he was gonna cry, either that or his face would explode.
This is proving to be very empowering.
I will let you know as the drama of JD's kidnapped pen continues.
Attached is my Evil Kitty Pic of the Day...lol. I think spring is effecting me.

In honor of my 22nd Anniversary today, I'm using the present my wife got me...a Dupont Lacquered Blue Orpheo (Large, w/M nib), filled with PR Lake Placid Blue. It glides across paper like buttah:
Today, something simple. So far, just my amber transparent Waterman Kultur, filled with Diamine Woodland Green that is darkened up with NI Bulletproof Black. Before I open another pen, I'm waiting to see what might arrive in my mailbox today.
