[Pen/Pencil Review] Staples Tru Red Retractable 0.5mm Assorted Colors
Before FenCon, there was an unexpected trip to Staples – because it was a convenient side trip. I picked up a couple of things on sale. One was a 5-pack of their new line Tru Red ™ retractable gel pens. I had to try them, because I am me. I bought this package because I […]
