Having a pen to use on your screen begs to find purpose to use it... Since about the only use for a pen I've had in the last few years is filling up feedback forms at coffee shops and signing credit card slips - my handwriting (bad has it was) has deteriorated beyond something that most doctors would be proud of, decades into their practice. I've been experimenting with drawing instead - and while I'm no better at that than handwriting - I did find a website or two that helped me sketch something vaguely recognisable!

Watched Stuck on You. If you haven't watched it, you have not missed much. Am also reading Company - which skillfully blends in fact and fiction to give an account of the CIA between 1950 and 1995; this book is easier to recommend, despite the 900ish pages it runs into!
