When it comes to things I like I tend to take it to the extreme at times. My tastes get more and more refined, I get snobby about my hobby (hey that rhymes!). I was something of a pen nerd back when I went to college. I would go to the bookstore and try out all the different pens to fine The Holy Grail, one that was perfect for everyday use.

I finally settled on Jotter pens by Parker about 10 years ago and I’ve been using them exclusively ever since. They have a great feel and weight, the ink flows great and they are easily portable.

I would buy them by the pallet if I could. I bought a batch on eBay one time but something was off about them. I discovered that there are good Parker pens made in France, then there are cheap Parker pens made in India. I use a pen so much during the work day. I can tell the difference. Viva la France!
