I had the thrill of a lifetime earlier this year when a comment I left on a New York Times Wirecutter article turned me into one of their investigative contributors. As a little boy, I would fiendishly steal red Paper Mate Flair pens from my mother’s desk drawer. They’ve lined my pen cups and pouches ever since.
Special thanks to Wirecutter editor Annemarie Conte for reaching out via Instagram in response to my comment on her initial article, and thank you, mom, for introducing me to the wonder that is a ribbed-barrel flair-tipped pen all those years ago.
