Beautiful pen!

 

I really wish I could find some Ebonite like the vintage Waterman Blue/Green Ripple and have Brian make a pen out of it for me.

 

Congratulations

 

Take a look here at Earth. Also another one whose name I can't think of now, but you'll find it. Good Luck. Brian will also search for you if you ask him.

Thanks, but that's not the material I'm looking for.

 

Brian is aware of the material for which I'm looking.

Krandall,

 

it was a pleasure to read your review. It's an interesting instrument and I am fascinate from clipless simple pens (that's a pity that there are not so many options for a clipless pen out there...).

 

Yours is beautiful.

 

Ciao,

Beautiful review Krandall, merci beaucoup ...

 

you captured so well the very special joy there is when a very special fountain pen arrives ...

 

Why is it that Europeans speak English so beautifully and the average American, like me, can barely manage second year French? It is embarrassing. Thanks for your remark on my review. I thought I was going to get a lot of flack for not following the standard formula, but it has been the opposite. People seem to respond positively to the more "right brain", poetic approach, mediocre as it was.

 

 

 

In 2002 I attended an 8 week advanced course in London, England for the ministry in which I was employed. There were only 4 Americans in attendance, several Europeans, a number of people from Africa and India, and a smattering of people from other parts of the globe, 26 in all.

 

The curious thing to me at the time was that most of the delegates except Americans spoke more than one language. In fact, it came to be a bit of a joke for our closely-knit group.

 

From that experience two things happened to me. First, I decided that I could learn a second language and began to study Spanish. My wife joined me and we enrolled in a two-year Spanish language course and we continue speaking and learning today.

 

The second thing was that I realized that people in many parts of the world are almost forced or at least conditioned to the need to learn languages beside their native tongue because they live in proximity to other countries much as we live in proximity of one state to the next in the United States. It isn't such a surprise to understand once you realize that people in Europe, for example, cross over country borders as frequently as we drive to another state for work or vacation.

 

I agree that Americans could be more proactive about learning second and third languages and understanding other cultures. Since my educational experience in London in 2002 I have been fortunate to travel to South America 4 times visiting several countries there while experiencing various cultures, climates, and native peoples who I have come to appreciate and love so much.

Many thanks for this very pleasant review. It makes me thinking about an Edison pen. Maybe for XMas

Krandall: This is simply a wonderful review. This is the review that converted me to a person that is saving for an Edison Pearl now

[bluemoon]

This is a truely wonderful and informative review. One of the best I have the good luck to see.

 

On a side note, I liked your book 'Bardo' a lot and I will pick up 'The Assassination of George W. Bush: A Love Story' very soon.
