I think that might just be my favorite James Taylor song. Sort of a toss up between that song and his cover of "You've Got a Friend", with "Fire and Rain" running a really close third.

I'm also a big fan of his cover of How Sweet It Is and Carolina in My Mind.

Maya, I love the flourishes in your script, and that Noodler's Navajo Turquoise looks great.

HH1990, the paper in these samples was from a Mead Five-Star notebook, published in January 2017. There is a detailed discussion of low-cost composition notebooks in the following thread. The fountain-pen-friendly-ink editions change regularly, so details about country of origin and publishing date become important.

Hi! Maybe my turn? I would like to offer a remarkable philosophical quote:

 

 

The mind is strange, but it has its reasons. The mind sees in a single glimpse life unlived, hopes unrewarded, emptiness and silence where there should have been noise and love.. . Philip Kindred Dick

Thank you Andrew! Yesterday I got a notice that it was my turn (which I did not know!), please take my spot. I consider it a favor, as it seems I do not know if I am coming or going! :) Much appreciated. Your Philip Kindred Quote is officially on the roster! Thx!

The relationship between the capitals and the lower-case letters is so graceful, David.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
