This week's written snapshots.
Uniformed unicorns uncovered uncouth unagi underwriters under unruly Union University.
The boy wanted to paint the Scarbunny Pokémon so I drew one for him on watercolor paper.
She wanted one too so I pulled out my rarely used light table, traced it, and let them loose with watercolors.

Goodbye to Green
At the start of 2023 I got back into using fountain pens after a long hiatus after finishing Berkeley. The ink in my bottle of Waterman Green had dried out so I revived it with water.
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to focus on finishing this bottle so I took it out of the dark storage box and left it on the desk.
Yesterday I realized there was a little white mold floating on the surface!
I’m most likely too cheap for my own good, but I refilled up a couple eyedroppers that already had this green in their barrels and pulled out a brush to burn through the rest. As you can see, the green had morphed to an interesting dark teal.
I suspect I got this bottle while still in high school, so it’s been with me for more than a quarter century. It’s now empty and washed.
Given my morning pages and sketches, I suspect this old buddy will be all gone in a week.
