If you catch me checking out my watch, I'm not being impatient - I'm admiring my new watch from Detroit's Shinola. Don't be discouraged by the watch discussion, you inky savages. Tom and I do talk about pens for most of the episode. We share some details about the high holy day of Fountain Pen Day on November 4th. We discuss shopping for pens versus shopping for watches. And, we share our thoughts on fountain pen-friendly paper.
