Break open a new notebook in case of emergency! That seems to be what Myke and Brad do, with each having five or more active notebooks in the rotation. Is this a problem? They also talk about falling in love again with an old pen and read some amazing reader mail.

They discuss the idea of punting on a started Field Notes notebook, justification for owning so many pens, and penspotting in public. Then, the Esterbrook hammer drops.
