== Christmas Gifts ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' I had a really, really great Christmas. And you know, it's funny about pens and Christmas time for me, I rarely ask for them. You know, it's just, it's one of those personal things that, you know, I want to pick out the, if I'm getting a pen for Christmas, it's usually something I've picked out and bought for myself or something like that. So, I really didn't get much in the way of, you know, pens, paper, stationery. I got a couple of small things. My wife got me, picked me up a bottle of the J. Herbin Grease Nuage, which is this really pretty gray fountain pen ink, which I haven't opened yet. And one other thing I got, and I don't even remember the brand of it, it's not a Levenger, but it's based off of the Levenger Pocket Briefcase, I believe it's called. It's basically an index card holder. You know, I like my note cards. It's like a little leather, four-corner pouch is not the way to describe it. It's kind of hard to explain, but basically, it's got a pocket that holds about 10 note cards and you pull one of the note cards out and you can put it on the flat side. Flat side of this little case. It looks like a wallet and just like the four corners stick in. So, you have like a hard pad to write on your note card and you can slide it into a pocket or, you know, briefcase or something like that. It's just a little neat way to transport.

'''Myke Hurley:''' People use them for index cards.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, they're for index cards. So, that's really all I've gotten. And, you know, I think for Christmas, I almost never asked for pens. I think the last pen I asked for for Christmas was the County Comm Embassy pen, which I got two or three years ago by this point. And, yeah, it's just not a big pen receiving time for me. How about you? Did you get anything?

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, I mean, I had the same kind of thing. Like, leading up to Christmas, a family member said, oh, why don't we get you a nice pen? And I was like, well, pens are things that I buy myself sort of throughout the year. So, it's not really something that I think of when it comes to Christmas as a gift. Yeah. But Christmas came slightly earlier for me this year. Oh, yeah? In the form of a package from Mr. Dowdy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, yeah. Interesting. Interesting.
