Now that Angelique has a juris doctor degree, she turns up her nose at ballpoint pens and other inexpensive writing instruments. (She didn't want the Novotel pen that we won at the raffle, but, then again, neither did Aubrey.)

Last week I gave Angelique a pearl-white fountain pen for her oath-taking, one of her associates gave her a Parker fountain pen, and she herself ordered another pearl-white, Japanese fountain pen online. I have yet to introduce her to the variety of inks (brilliants, psles, watered-downs, and different colors). I do know as of now that she detests blue ink.

In the meantime Grandpa has a glut of ballpoint pens.
