Hello, there!

Updated: Jun 17, 2019

Welcome to my nerdy corner of the internet. My name's John; it's nice to meet you! I'm increasingly "old and busted", and I am a fountain pen geek who loves pen-pals, hence the name. Your sense of humor is appreciated. :-) I enjoy talking about fountain pens and other "stationery subjects"...as well as ranting shamelessly about my increasing irritation with uncouth people. Yes, you've found it: a blog where people can wax eloquently about their fountain pens, perhaps pick up a pen-pal or two, *and* complain bitterly about the increasingly decrepit state of humanity at the same time!! Fun, eh? Please keep it "clean", insofar as you can, and no politics, please. I have my own political opinions; in the event that they differ from yours, I plan to keep them to myself rather than risk offending someone that I could otherwise have a friendly conversation with. See you at the mailbox!

Thanks for such a wonderful first post. Loved it. Will keep reading as I love fountain pens and road trip stories. 🌹
