I’m crying at work. Thanks, Beth.

Nailed it.

Holy crap, yes.

My favorite bang-for-the-buck pens are PaperMate Inkjoy 100RT. 10 colors available, but I usually only use blue or black. These are smooth writing ballpoints, lightweight, and most important, cheap (under 50¢ each when you skip the multi-color packs), so I don’t get too upset if one walks away.

Okay, now to get my wife to buy in, and I’m golden. There’s always a catch.

Weird. While the app certainly is NOT great, I have never had it take “forever” (even accounting for hyperbole) to load, and while it’s a pretty silly interface, it wasn’t terrible, just... quaint.

Okay, he got me. I’ve been Trumped again. Here I was sure that I’d seen enough to find no surprise in anything that he says anymore.
