With cell phones, I don't really carry pens around anymore. (It was a necessity for guys back in the day. Never knew when you might needed to get that number ๐).
Even still, I do keep a stash of pens around my room or sometimes in my shirt pockets. In fact, the length of many pens and the length of dress shirt pockets match almost perfectly. They're still really handy for a quick note! โ๐พ
I always have one in my bag, now I always have one in a pocket as I won't use any pen anywhere else. for medical appointments we are all now sent a text asking us to bring our own pen for any forms that need to be filled out.
The moment I saw the tie I knew this was your photo. Itโs a terrific shot and I had to laugh about your reason for needing a pen at all times. Something I had never considered before.
