For all of you asking what ever happened to Steve #4, the answer is nothing. (And in case any of you new readers are confused right now, no, I don’t know four guys all named Steve. This is just a system I’ve devised for the blog: Instead of posting the real names of the men I go on dates with, they’re all referred to as Steve and assigned a number.)  I’d like to say I have some well formulated rationale regarding the situation, but I mostly just have cramps. So yeah, nothing.

First of all, for the most detailed account of everything, I will continue to chronicle my early days with the pen, and all of the posts in that timeline will be marked as volumes.

But as promised, here is the definitive account of how all of this Haunted Pen business came to be: They say necessity is the mother of invention, but have they ever stopped to consider that forgetfulness might be the absentee father of fate? The sequence of events that led me to Alabaster (the pen) were set into motion by an event so mundane, you could hardly call it an event.

Ever since I found the pen, many of you have been telling me to ditch the original blog title, and start over fresh with a name that really emphasizes the pen. I admit I was a little reluctant at first, but a strongly worded e-mail from Cassidy L. in New Haven really helped put things in perspective. And so, here it is—a fresh start.
