Penmanship

Mine is not good, but that's beside the point.

I'm not a pen aficionado - I don't own any that are very expensive. On the other hand, I hate writing with cheap plastic pens or, even worse, with the promotional giveaways that every business seems to give out. These two are my current favorites. The top one is just a Parker Jotter; it looks nice, but it's inexpensive enough that it's no big deal if I lose it. The bottom one Richard gave me recently. It was handmade by a friend of his from wood from an old tree that came down in one of last summer's storms.
