The Best Pens
Courage, commitment and certainty – the three c’s of doing your crossword puzzle with a pen. When I volunteered at a hospital in middle school I learned a lot about life, but one of most unexpected lessons was from an old timer who told me he always did his crossword puzzle in pen, because “if you aren’t sure about something, you have no business writing it down!”
There have been a couple times in life I’ve forgotten that lesson and have had an email or comment come back to haunt me. These days, I try to wield my pen with as much courage and commitment as possible knowing that the permanency of ink demands it. Start living your life with certainty with some of our favorite pens:
