Dear Friends,

I talk to a lot of people who put pen to paper and they all seem to have their own favorite type of pen. Because it all depends on what you’re looking for. Some prefer durability or reliability or how it feels in their hand or how it looks on the paper.

Friends are kind of like pens. There are a few essential qualities that make a good friend–honesty, loyalty, respect–but beyond that a lot of it is personal preference.

Which is a good thing, because some of us are ballpoint, some of us are gel, and some of us are rollerball. But no matter what, there’s someone out there who is looking for a friend just like us.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
