Sharpies

I don't know why, exactly, but I love Sharpie markers. They're good markers, and are made in America, which is a plus. They're handy to have on a film set, not to mention many other places. I sense, though, that my affection for them goes beyond their utility. I don't know why that is. I finger the marker, and look around the room to things to use it on. It was like this when I had a Zippo lighter. I don't know what happened to that, but I don't smoke, so I seldom had a practical use for it and it would just go dry in idleness. It's an odd thing
