One Year in a Pandemic

One Year in a Pandemic

I took this picture of Spadina, from College looking down to Dundas, early on in the pandemic, maybe in April 2020. It was surreal to see the north end of Chinatown so empty in broad daylight.

Catching Up on Correspondence

Catching Up on Correspondence

InCoWriMo 2021, International Correspondence Writing Month, has gone by in a flash. It’s February every year, and you’re supposed to write a letter each day, or if not a letter, maybe a greeting card or a postcard. In years past, we did a little more celebrating, maybe ran a pen pal match up if I recall correctly, but this year, things have just swept along and here I am in March.

Rohrer & Klingner Isatis Tinctoria

I had vaguely heard rumours (probably from Jon) of this new special edition ink from Rohrer and Klingner and now here it is, Isatis Tinctoria, inspired by the indigo dye from its leaves.

March Wonder Pens Read Pick: The Friend by Sigrid Nunez

Of the many, many things that have fallen by the wayside, we are now picking back up again our Wonder Pens Reads. I had meant to get onto this: there had been real, actual delays and then many more self-constructed delays, but I am back. For (January-) March, we have The Friend, by Sigrid Nunez.
