Fisher Space Pens

These pens work upside down.  If you write on your back, late at night, often in the hope of not disturbing the Lady of the house, they can be invaluable. I've had (and given away) several, but my favorite is the original astronaut pen.  A similar pen, the Uni Power Tank, is quite satisfactory with similar attributes. They are available at considerably less cost, and are lighter (except in zero gravity) than my old buddy, the (pictured) Fisher Astronaut.

Greek Mythology

Greco-Roman myths explain life, death, and the afterlife; human virtues, successes and failures. They are profound mirrors which reflect life today.  I see them not as religion, but a kind of psychology.

Just for Fun

Is "s" replacing "sh" in our language today?
