Three strikes make a turkey
I worked in three modes this week. First, I taught in person Monday and Tuesday. This involved the usual analog bookkeeping and lesson planning. My electronic work was in our school learning management system (LMS), and in my virtual pacing guide.
Long view on a short week
The Thanksgiving holiday in the US makes for a short work week. Selecting an ink palette for a short week is challenging. Do I go for inks and pens to use at home or do I still plan as if working at school? The newest — ahem: the only newly — inked pen is the classic Esterbrook J. Its 2442 F Stub nib is smooth and just stubby enough to be fun. I fixed the pen up myself, so feel attached to the little girl.
Inked Tines — November 21
The week ran lopsided from the get-go. I spent far more time writing for work than for myself. I intend for this coming week to flip the script through my holiday break. My Delike New Moon 2 arrived this week. It’s fun to meet a new pen. The Delike came with a misaligned nib. It’s less fun to need to tune your new pen out of the box.
Currently Inked - November 18
Two greys, three blues, a green, a brown and a pink. Nearly all of the tones are unsaturated and cool. Dusty blues and greens are easy on the eyes. I find unsaturated colors calming; and we can all use a little comfort nowadays. I’m quite at home with this week’s currently inked.
