I’m never sure what to write. Sometimes I just want to put something out there so I can say I did. Here it is.

Today’s Pen: ✒️ TWSBI VAC700R

This pen looks with great transparent inks sloshing around in the inside.

✍🏻Copper Chloride is a great ink to show off in a pen like this. It goes down easily and is well behaved.

Two pens today:

✒️Pilot Custom 743 Verdigris ✒️ Pelikan M600 in Green

Both are very different, yet fantastic.

The Pilot has a Falcon nib that allows more line variation. The Pelikan is a smooth and wet writer which make it so fun to use. Both are great to look at, though I prefer the Pelikan because it has a little more personality.

Every time I pick up a Kaweco Sport, I’m surprised how good it is. What a fantastic little pen.

Watching my son practice soccer and enjoying the mild weather. Despite the wildfire smoke’s attempt to conceal them, I notice some majestic clouds in the distance.

Introduction

👋Hi I’m Mike,

I’m a father, gamer, music fan and stationary enthusiast. I intend to write about these topics, and connect with other people. I’m a pretty shy person so the latter is going to be a challenge.

I’m also trying to get healthier, be more patient and overall be a better human. I’m not sure how much I want to share about these efforts, but maybe I’ll mention them from time to time.

I don’t like talking about politics or social issues, even when it matches my own views. I want to stick to fun stuff here.
