Today I started using a new marker – it’s a fine-point Sharpie permanent marker.

If this were a new pen, it’d be ready to go right out of the box. I could pop the cap or click the end and start writing right away. But this isn’t a pen – it’s a marker. And it has taken me all morning to get used to using it. I still don’t have the ink flow down.

On the plus side, though, I don’t have ink all over my hands like I usually did with my last marker.
