Rainy, cold, wet, and I was down until a package arrived from Italy. Now, I don't normally do writing instruments other than fountain pens unless I grab an interesting give-away from my doctor's pen jar (they truly can be often very interesting). But today, I received the MONA Thesi ballpoint and I do like it a LOT. I have no idea if it is going to be a comfortable BP but it sure is attractive enough to keep me happy for awhile. I liked it well enough that I already ordered two refills from Chuck Swisher, that clearly assumes I plan to be using it. In addition, I am waiting for my Calico Platinum to arrive from Dov. That makes life real good. Elaine ========================================================= To Unsubscribe: Send email to fptalk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe" in the Subject field.
