Make room, make room!



Sending a photo from my 'Pages' app on my iPod. You'll need to click on the photo to see it all. I'll work on lighting next time...but I don't promise my desk will be any less messy. :-)

Handwriting without tears

Erin Dolin is a presenter for Handwriting Without Tears and an occupational therapist who wants us to take pen to paper.

Art Brown's venerable pen store closes its doors in Manhattan


Adam Frank reported on Pentrace this weekend about the sudden closing of the venerable (next year would have been their 90th year) Manhattan pen shop, Art Brown -- a family business.

All reports indicate that this was due to an increase in rent that could no longer be sustained (some report an increase to $50,000 per month!).


What a sad event.
