Info Central?

Seven some months later, here we are back again on the blog with our cyper-pen aka the keyboard and a bright white blank sheet of paper aka the monitor to compose a few thoughts on. Our wonderful Pendemonium webguru and I have had some blog talks in the past few months. Perhaps this little spot in cyberspace might be a good home for answers to all the questions we get about pens, inks, paper and could we please help identify Uncle Edson's fountain pen. My friend Dan refers to Pendemonium as Info Central, I try to convince him it is not. He insists. I end up trying to find the answers because if I don't he'll just ask again. It's OK, Dan is one of my favorite people.

Just today, I've had e-discussions going back and forth about a number of things. There's the woman who needs to know what kind of pen she has, but more importantly how to get the ink cartridge that is stuck in the barrel out so she can use the pen again. Little did I know it had been stuck in there for years! I did ID her pen, but I think she's still trying to get the cartridge out. We also had a nice gent inquire about his spinning pen cap which further led to discussion about the Sheaffer Pen Co's Service Center which happens to be in the same town we are in. When the good folks at Sheaffer get a little behind on email and phone messages, people seem to think I can help. I can only sympathize a little with folks on this since we are not Sheaffer and they have to answer their own questions! I do have my limits. We also had the man in Italy who broke his Parker 51 desk pen nib today, it once belonged to his grandfather and I'm racking my brain trying to remember who I should refer him to in Italy because family pens are important. I really do enjoying talking pens with people. I'll have to mull over a little further the blog-info central-helpful fountain pen hints scenario. I'm telling myself not to take so darned long to blog again, life seems to interfere with this blogging stuff. Thus far, no one knows I have this little blog except me and that is probably a good thing!
