So you know the old saying be careful what you wish for ? Well it just bit me right on the butt :haha: !! I wished my wife would understand my addiction to pens and not shake her head every time I bought a new expensive pen or ink. Well that changed today. It started right after I got my Delta Dolcevita a few days ago, she really loved the look of the Delta pen and she started looking on the web at Delta pens. She said she really liked the Delta passion pen in pink and black. So I thought I would surprise her and buy it for her, it arrived today, she really loves it and now she is addicted to fountain pens. She is been raiding my ink cabinet all day, and surfing the web talking about what inks she wants to order (after she just told me a few days ago I have way too many inks and I need to stop ordering ink ), she even mumbled something about some Visconti pen she saw that she might want next . .....What ??? I am thinking to myself what did I do :( this is supposed to be my addiction damnit !!!, I want things back to normal, her yelling at me that I am crazy for spending so much on pens and ink and me ignoring her and ordering more stuff !! :haha: . The universe seems out of order right now, I want things back to normal :cry: ..............It really is a nice pen though, writes beautiful right out of the box, really smooth, unlike my Dolcevita that had to be shipped to Yafa to change nibs.

Wife has got good taste. She's lucky to have you....she gets to avoid all the unless pens we buy in the beginning. She skipped to the front of the class AND got a supply of great ink. Lucky bum.

Very nice looking Delta, lovely pearlescence and the banding on the cap especially catches the eye.

It is wonderful you two now have a hobby to share.
Are trips to pen shows together next on the agenda ?

Over the past few years we have progressed from a "no fountain pens in this house" to "could you clean my Kaweco and refill it with Noodler's 54th Mass for work."

Thank you for the compliment on the pen :) No pen shows yet, I am not even sure if there is been any in New Jersey that I am aware of.
