Over the weekend, somewhere, I lost my new fountain pen! Because I'm now addicted to writing with these fine instruments, it needed immediate replacement. The replacement, by Lamy, has a much stronger clip, so when I attach it to my canvas bag, I think it'll stay put, unlike the Waterman, which I'm pretty sure slipped off somewhere Saturday or Sunday: I had it at a Friday meeting, and by Sunday, it was nowhere to be found.
