I ran into an old friend from high school last weekend.  We had a blast just talking and reminiscing about classes and friends and all that.  It was one of those times that could have been a Hallmark commercial … and then it got even better.  Naturally, at some point I started talking about Fisher Space Pens and about my beloved Bullet Pen, and he said … “Oh yeah, I have one of those - it writes upside down.  Did you ever see that Seinfeld episode … ?”

After recovering from my shock and brushing back a tear - I asked him how he came to be in possession of his Fisher Pen and which one he had.  He got the pen from his dad a while back, it’s a Lacquered Brass Classic Bullet Pen.  So, not only did he know about and these pens, he also valued his enough to keep for it all these years.

What began as a Hallmark commercial turned into a Country Music Video, as I sat there pondering, what if I had known this about him in High School.  I can see the video now, he tucks his pen back into his pocket, we hug … and he walks off into the sunset.   I am left standing there, smiling at the thought of what might have been.  I wonder who’d be singing….

The Chrome Military Bullet Pens are among the sharpest of the Fisher Space Pens.  It seems fitting to have a line of “Bullet Pens” designated to the military and this line also come in Matte Black and Marine Corps Red.  The Chrome Bullets stand out among the three though, perhaps because they have that polished look.  They are definitely not the pens for combat, they are for a dress uniform or a retired soldier context.  Actually, one of these pens is the perfect gift for a member who is departing the military.  I got a plaque … it’s neat, but a Fisher Space Pen with the Army Logo on it … I could still be using that!

These pens have the Fisher PR4 black medium point pressurized refill, so they will write upside down, under water, and in any environment you will come across.  You can also buy additional refills, so again, had I been given a Fisher Pen upon departing the Army many years ago, I could have purchased refills and still be using it. 

If you know a service member who is actively serving or is nearing the end of their service, consider a gift of a Chrome Military Bullet Pen.  You can engrave it with their name and include their departing rank - or you can engrave the name of their unit on the pen instead.  Either way, twenty years later, they’ll still be using it and remembering where it came from.

What do you do when a friend just doesn’t get it?  I brought my Titanium Nitride Bullet Pen to work to show off to my friend and she was decidedly unmoved by the experience.  I know that we all have our different tastes, interests, and such … but to not be able to recognize and appreciate the uniqueness and value of a Fisher Space Pen …. I am at a loss.

I am trying not to let this affect our friendship - but there is a loss of respect that just can’t be helped.  She is the only person I know who just does not get it.   Oh well, I won’t let her know that I see her differently now.  She’s to be pitied, not judged.  I think I will just have to get her a Purple Passion Bullet (her favorite color).  Maybe if she uses a Fisher for awhile, she’ll come around.

Fisher Space Pens has come out with a pen that is not only clever but also ecologically sound.  The .375 H&H Bullet Pen takes the classic bullet pen and makes it a real Bullet Pen.  The cap of the pen is made from an actual spent .375 shell case.   The empty shell case that would have been in a landfill, is now finding a new use on a pen that will never find it’s way to a landfill.  No one would throw away a Fisher Pen!

Inside this unique pen is the standard PR Series Pressurized Refill that is used by NASA on every space shuttle mission.  You can count on your Fisher to write anywhere, anytime, and at any angle.  These refills will not dry out, they have a shelf life of 100 years - that’s why they won’t see a landfill!

If you are looking for a truly unique pen as a gift or for yourself, this is the pen you want.  You will definitely get attention with it.

Have you ever wanted to try to figure out your dreams?  Of course you have - everybody has at one point or another.  Have you ever wished you could know you are dreaming in your dream?  My son is always telling me about his dreams and about 50% of the time, he says, “and then I knew it was a dream, so I ….”  Now I would love to be able to do that.  Incidentally, that is called lucid dreaming.

I am just happy if I can remember my dreams.  When I do remember them, I love to pick them apart and see where each part came from … a conversation, a face at the gas station, something that was bothering me.  It’s funny how the brain just makes a casserole with our experiences and serves it to us while we sleep.

You can learn to exercise some control over your dreams.  It’s actually very interesting to read about and I always say I am going to try it one of these days.  The first step is to simply start keeping track of your dreams.  When you awake from a dream, go over it in your mind before you even move.  Once you’ve done that, write down what you remember - including what you were feeling.  I guess the more you do this, the easier it gets. 

Of course, one thing you’ll be needing for this little exercise is the Nite Note by Fisher Space Pens.  With this handy little product you can simply reach over to the nightstand in the dark, pull out the Chrome Slimline Pen which will turn on the light for the notepad.  Once you are done, replace the pen, the light goes out and you go back to sleep easily.  Sweet dreams!

Today was a good day.  I was at work and I got to tell someone about Fisher Space Pens.  She had never heard of them.  It was a different experience talking about the pens this time, because not only did I tell her about how great they were, I told her why they were great …. because now I can explain it!  It was awesome.

Of course since she hadn’t previously heard of them, I had to tell her about some of my favorites, like the one I call the happy little pen, the Lime Green Bullet Pen with the Golf Ball on it, and of course the Lifetime Pens.  She was like everyone else and doubted whether I was serious when I said they will last an average lifetime - that always cracks me up.  I also told her about the Go Cowboys pen I received, because even though I don’t like the Cowboys (I may change my mind now that TO is gone) - I love the idea of engraving a fun pen with something equally fun.  Finally, I told her about my favorite one, the Black Titanium Nitride Pen and why mine is so special to me. Tomorrow, I am bringing it in to show her.  I am very excited, not just to show her, but or the attention it will bring … which will allow me to tell more people about these wonderful little pens.

I was reminiscing with an old classmate the other day and we were trying to remember old teachers.  It’s funny how some teachers are forgotten, some become no more than names, and some stay etched in your mind forever.

Etched in my mind is Mrs Stephenson, my sixth grade teacher.  She wasn’t a touchy feely, warm kind of teacher - she was a nice, fair, and very smart teacher.  I remember how she treated the boys that would now be labeled ADHD.  She never made them feel dumb like other teachers I had seen, she simply disciplined them with no anger.  It wasn’t just her simple kindness that stayed with me, it was all that she taught me.  I cannot remember much I learned from any particular grade in my K-12 education, but I remember a great deal from that year.

Mrs. Stephenson was only at my school for one year and I have no idea what ever happened to her.  I was telling another friend about her when I was talking about buying my boys’ teachers Fisher Space Pens.  I think if I knew where she was today, I would get her a Neck Chain Pen, because she always had her reading glasses attached around her neck.  I really hope I will one day get the opportunity to tell her that she reached at least one student.

Are there and teachers that made a lasting impact on your life?  Why not let them know - you just make make there day or even their year.

It’s getting time to start thinking about graduation.  I know it’s only March, but May tends to sneak up and arrive without notice. It’s not to early to consider who you are going to get graduation announcements from and who you are going to take the time to buy actual gifts for.  It may seem easier to drop a check in a card, but five years from now, will the recipient remember?

Pens used to be one of the standard gifts given to recognize a student’s efforts, and it’s a shame that we’ve decided that money is sufficient.  Perhaps it’s because these days, grads send to every possible person they can think of who might reward them with a check.  I am not suggesting a pen for some kid you barely know, I am thinking of close family or friends.  A Fisher Space Pen means something, so it should be given to someone who means something to you.

For a high school graduate, consider the X-Marks Series Pens.  These are great pens, but their price will allow you to include a check with the gift if that’s what you want to do.  The X-750 Pens take it up a notch, which I think makes them more appropriate for a college grad - because they are usually more responsible.   A Neck Chain Pen is a great option for any female graduate.

These are just suggestions.  Check out all the Fisher Pens and consider the personalities for which you will be buying.  Of course, you’ll want to engrave your gift.  It won’t slow down your shipment time at all and it definitely adds an extra touch to an already supremely classy gift.

As I was making out my bills with my lovely Titanium Nitride Bullet Pen, I was thinking about how all this time I have gone on and on about Fisher Space Pens and I only just figured out how they work.  It was very woman of me to only be concerned with the look of the pen and how perfectly it worked and not worry about why.  I am bad about getting my oil changed too.

Anyway, I am quite pleased with myself for finally taking some initiative, but now it seems no one ever asks me about Fisher Pens.  Isn’t that always the way.  I think I will just tell people without waiting for their inquiry … I’ll just casually bring it up in conversation.  “Have you heard of Fisher Space Pens?  You haven’t?  Oh, here go to www.cyberspacepens.com.  Okay, click on the Bullet Pens.  Now check out the Lifetime Pens.  Yeah they mean it — 80 years!  Wanna know how they work?  Let me break it down for you ….”

I think it’s always good to have a plan.  I also think it might be time to get my oil changed.
