 Carolina Pen Company. I ordered this before Trump was President because the Carolina Pen Company was taking some flack online for donating money to an LGBTQ+ cause in the USA. We're not supposed to be buying stuff from American now that Trump is threatening to invade my country, but I liked CPC for publicly supporting LGBTQ people and figured that probably made him decidedly anti-Trump. So I bought a pen. It's a lovely thing. 

Plus, it kind of feels like he's an ally.

 Philly Cheesesteaks. Super Bowl. Philly won. We had delicious sandwiches.

 In the last twenty years, when playing against the Canucks in Vancouver, the Toronto Maple Leafs have only won twice. They lost tonight. You can't make this up. It's statistically VERY unlikely to lose that many games over that many years. The Leafs continue to amaze.

 There's a plan to make Philly Cheesesteaks this weekend. A good sandwich deserves the perfect bread. The perfect bread requires practice. Today was round one. More water in the mix next time. A little less olive oil brushed on before baking. Five minutes less in the oven maybe. They were still pretty good, but they could be better.

 Buffalo Bills beat the Baltimore Ravens, 27 to 25. I called the Bills winning by 1. In the end they won by 2. There was wings and beer to support the effort. I'm not even a fan of NFL football. But I do like me some wings.

 Fountain pens. I'll give a couple of these away. I have one last one on order. Last one? Did I say that? Sure. Why not?

 "Tuna Gray" is a great name for an ink colour.

Elizabeth Ellen is a short story writer. The following is an excerpt from one of her stories.... 


Saul and I went for a walk. I had a plastic bag and a video camera. I set the bag on the sidewalk and waited for something to happen.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Saul said. He'd never seen the movie. He didn't know how much beauty there was in the world or whatever. I stood and waited for the bag to take flight. I stood there a long time and Saul stood next to me. I kept waiting for the beauty. I felt like I was always waiting.

So it's not a photograph. What are you going to do about it? 

Oh yeah. And a photograph.
