In Chicago we all think of ourselves as a little bit Irish, especially today. So Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day
And this is roughly reason number 1,979 why I love Chicago: green bagels for St. Patrick’s Day. I love the melting pot.
Though, yeah, the green color looks slightly strange in a bagel. Only kids would actually eat those, probably. Or Shrek. Or the guy in charge of Lamy Safari color choices.
Pen of the Day: Pelikan M600 Green o’ Green with KWZ Iron Gall Green Gold
Pelikan M600 Green o’ Green with broad nib. Well, it’s the Ides of March, of course, but in addition it’s almost St. Patrick’s Day, so I’m going with the latter theme. St. Patrick’s Day is more fun. It’s the unofficial Chicago holiday, with our Chicago River dyed green, and our “everyone’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day” spirit. The latter is a nice way of saying that everyone drinks a lot on St. Patrick’s Day. It’s like the law of the city.
And here is the pen cap, the most St. Patrick’s Day part of the Pelikan Green o’ Green.
And here is the ink, which is from a sample sent by a friend: KWZ Iron Gall Green Gold. This is another really nice-looking ink from KWZ.
