'hello' From Southern Maryland

[snowbear]

Hello, all.

 

I've been lurking around for little while and decided to post. I have a few inexpensive pens; my current favorite is a Delta Serena that my lovely wife got me earlier this year (we call it a combination Valentine's & Father's day gift!)

Hello and welcome to FPN

Welcome !

 

Your Delta Serena is a handsome, conservative fountain pen. While injection molding is the common production method, your pen is machined from a solid piece of material. I hope you are getting good use from a thoughtful gift.

 

Which other fountain pen do you have ? Do you hav e a favorite ink ?

 

I think of Northern Maryland as Baltimore and Central Maryland as the Washington DC suburbs. That would make Southern Maryland Clinton, and all those "Port-something" places. Is that you ?

I am certainly low budget - I have a Waterman that I picked up at Staples a few years ago (Philias, I think) as well as a Cross from the same place, Pilot Metropolitan and a couple of Jinhaos (X450, X750) that I got in a two-for-one sale. I've just started looking at inks, having used cartridges so I don't have a favorite, yet.

 

You sound as though you've been here - perhaps Andrews AFB (now Joint Base)?

 

Maryland is typically broken onto four geographic parts - Western (the mountains), Central (Baltimore to DC), Eastern Shore (between the Chesapeake and the ocean) and Southern (south of DC). I am in Waldorf, between Clinton and the Port places - about 45-60 minutes south of DC. Yes, Clinton would be about where SoMD ends or starts.

Yes, Western MD is beautiful.

Welcome aboard! Prepare to learn more about pens that you (or I) ever thought was possible!
