    Default Hi from Ontario Canada

    Hi,

    I fell into the fountain rabbit hole earlier this year.

    I had a Parker pen when I was a kid, it has been long lost. All I can remember about it was that it was dark blue, had a rubber bladder type converter and a bottle of blue ink.

    That fountain pen was always on the back of my subconscious. Back last December 2018, one thing led to another and I bought a notebook with a leather cover that led to my first new fountain pen, a Twsbi ALR < F >, which led me to various inks and stationary…

    …and now here I am, registered for FPgeeks.

    I know that Ontario is a large province, but if you're any where Ottawa, there was an active pen club for quite a while. There are also some in the Toronto area.

    Howdy howdy and welcome to our little corner of cyberspace. Here you will find many people who will shamelessly entice and enable you to venture ever deeper down the rabbit hole. Sadly, such behavior is typical of addicts, even when the addictive substance is a fountain pen.
