I think Buddy would enjoy rolling those pen caps around.

Constantly lose the caps for pens -- Ed at wit's end with me on this issue. Had a sign posted in my loft for years that had been used in a mailing I received at the Chicago Convention Bureau as a backing for an uncreased letter. It said, "This building has been condemned by the Health Department of North Chicago, Illinois -- trespassers will be prosecuted" (sic) I loved that sign. I currently have a plaque in the guest bathroom that says, "Employees must wash hands before leaving this room -- by Order of the Board of Health". (I hear there is a Republican bill going to be introduced that will prevent employees from washing their hands if they don't feel like it. It's too much government, you know.) I used to have lots of interesting stuff -- sort of lost through the years.

nothing there for me.

Anybody want to rent this antique--all you have to do is feed him!

I chew on my pen caps--what can I tell you?

I guess I'm the opposite of your dear Dad. I have so many fine art permanent ink pens and have trained myself to keep them capped almost all the time, even when I'm using them and taking a brief break. They are so expensive, and when the nib dries out, they're useless. I store them in freezer bags with the pen tips pointed down so the downward ink flow keeps them fresh. Okay, it's obsessive, but they do last a long time that way.
