== Guest Introductions ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, well, do you want to, do you want to introduce our other guests in the same way, because I'm interesting to how that would turn out.

'''Myke Hurley:''' The one who's left.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You weren't going to go with the leftiest leftist?

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, because it's not, it doesn't, it hasn't got the same. Exactly, I wanted to see how you were going to pull that off. And that's Anna Rennes. Hi Anna.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Hi, how are you today?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Very great, thanks for coming back.

'''Ana Reinert:''' No problem.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm very pleased that you have.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We are very, very happy that you came back on, and Anna's from, for all those that don't know, Anna's from the Well Appointed Desk blog, who she does a fantastic job over there, and we've had her on the podcast before, and you should go back and listen to that episode, and we love having her back, and we hope to have her back many more times in the future, I'm sure.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Thank you.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So on that episode, on the episode that we did last time together, we spoke about left and right-handed people, because I finally was able to adjust the imbalance, and we found another left-handed person, which only feels fair, I think, to gang up on Brad.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Absolutely.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I deserve it more than you know.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I deserve all the ganging up upon. I like it, though. I can handle it. But we have a bit of follow-up before that, right? Yeah, a little follow-up, really more some kind of newsy topics, which I don't normally do news-type things on my blog, so the podcast is good for those type of things that I definitely want to focus on. Like, for example, today, news came. I've become an Edison pen fan recently, as I dig this deeper hole into the fountain pen world, and there's some models of pens of theirs that I like, and the design. And now that I own a couple, I really like the build quality and feel of them. So Brian Gray from Edison Pens announced a new production line coming this week. And the way Edison Pen is set up, they have a list of retailers, say, like Goulet Pens, Anderson Pens, Goldspot Pens, and several other ones. They have a list on their page. And Edison makes a production line of pens right now. You can go to their website. We'll have the links in the page. There's maybe five or six. Essentially, you can consider that the standard model from Edison Pen. There's one called the Beaumont, the Herald, the Collier, Hudson, and a couple they do specifically for Goulet Pens. And they're adding one to this production line, and I wanted to bring that up because I think it's important that Brian doesn't do these type of things very often. He's not adding production. Not all of his pens are made into a production line. Some are called the Signature Line, which is a couple of pens that I have are from the Signature Line. And they're more expensive and not quite as readily accessible, and you kind of almost have to get them custom made. Well, this production line, Brian keeps adding to it. And I don't know how often he does it, but it's not that frequent, like maybe once a year at the most. If not, I don't recall ever seeing an addition to the production line. So I just wanted to point that out for those who like fountain pens, like Edison Pen Company. If they haven't seen it yet, stay tuned for on Brian's site later this week. I think he said he's going to announce it Thursday. And he's already released the colors that they're going to be. And, yeah, I'm checking how much money I have in my PayPal account right now. So I'm going to definitely be looking at one of these once I see what the model is here. But the colors look great.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Kind of a little bit scared.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You're scared? Uh-huh. You're scared that you might like it?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Mm-hmm.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I know. You know, I'm not a huge fan of the existing production line pens. I don't like the colors of them, really. I could pick maybe one or two out of all the ones available that I would actually purchase.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' These, all three of these colors look spectacular, I think.

'''Myke Hurley:''' What one do you like the most?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' The blue, for sure. But the gold, actually probably in order on the picture. There's a blue one, a blue kind of swirl, a gold flake, and a red flake. That's probably, from left to right, one, two, three. But, I mean, it's really close. They're all nice. I want to see the whole picture and see what the design is anyway.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I like the gold one because it's kind of like tortoise shell-like. And I really like that pattern.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep.

'''Myke Hurley:''' All the time.
