This morning I placed an order at jetpens.com.

I don't have a decent working fountain pen in the house.  I don't even have a disposable one I can lay my hands on.  Yes, I have some fountain pens I intend (to learn [through doing]) to repair, sometime, starting with some crappy ones in case my inexpertise mucks things up; I have the famous lo-fi repair book by the late Frank Dubiel and a couple of great old pens with rotted innerds.  But, meanwhile, I shall have not one but two brand-spankin' new options, soon.

And more than one option of ink color.

I'm a little tickled with myself about it.  That's tickled, not ticked.  TICKLED.  Fancy that.

I don't. I aspire to be that fixer someday, but I'm a long way from recommending myself.

I've heard good things about the Fountain Pen Hospital, though, fwiw.

The Fountain Pen Hospital? How awesome is that? I like that color of orange, btw.
