Why start a blog called Pens ‘N’ Coffee?

PensNCoffee1HeaderWhy start a blog called Pens ‘N’ Coffee?

  • Because a blog called Pens ‘N’ Coffee ‘N’ Bacon is just too much awesome.
  • Because I already have 1 blog I don’t use. Why not 2?
  • To justify my obsession with pens & coffee.
  • Because pens & coffee go together like bacon & eggs or Simon & Garfunkel.
  • To practice writing.
  • To participate in the great online pen community.
  • As a Positive Procrastination Project [insert link for article I’ve intended to write for a looong time].
  • So I can one day be a guest on the Pen Addict Podcast.
  • To post all my love notes from Goulet Pens.
  • Because -HEY! PENS AND COFFEE!!!

      Thanks for the words of support, Tom. For this post I used a Muji Fountain Pen.

    THERE’S AN ONLINE PEN COMMUNITY???!!! NICE! my favorite for years has been the uniball vision fine 0.7 black…I use it to write and draw. you can go over pencil lines, go back and erase them and the ink never smears. better than a fine sharpie.

      Thanks for stopping by and for your comment. I’ve found lots of other fountain pens since I started this blog 2 years ago. I sill love my MUJI! At quality for price it’s hard to beat.

      I haven’t posted for a long time, but there is some fresh content right around the corner.
