    British Eccentric of the Year 2009

    Wax Seals

    JUST when you thought you'd heard EVERYTHING....

    Back in the mid-nineties, I was regularly attending a bluegrass jam at a local joint. One night a fellow banjo player showed up with a group of Russians in tow who could speak not a word of English. Turned out they were a bluegrass band touring N.A.

    Is anyone else on their death bed? The Flu Thread.

    I recently had a the flu from hell. Kinda hard to believe you're that sick and can't do much about it. Mom's remedies: Chicken noodle soup, saltine crackers, ginger ail. Ex's that works wonders: Ginger tea with lemon and honey. Mine: Copious use of T-3's. With those you really get so...

    Singing the Praises of the Esterbrook Fountain Pen

    Thanks for the tips. Since I basically live in the wilderness and am probably the only fountain pen user in my neck of the woods, the pen boards will have to be the place to look.

    Singing the Praises of the Esterbrook Fountain Pen

    J, really like that copper colored pen. As to nibs I've a 1554 and a 9668. Would like to find a fine flexible, but the couple I've found on the bay went for as much as an entire pen.

    Singing the Praises of the Esterbrook Fountain Pen
