I don't know whether anyone will read this or not, but in case you are wondering, the cane in my avatar is a sword-cane.

In actual fact, I carry a solid-metal Parker pen, not a sword, on my person, together with a small notebook. This pen, given to me by one of my students, means a lot to me. I hope that I'll never have to use it for other than writing....

Well I thought it was a walking cane and admit I didn't think sword cane so now I'm impressed.

Dark Muse: I have a Parker pen, not a sword cane. But I would LIKE a sword cane. Of course the police might put me in a little cell if I walked around in public carrying it.

mtpspur:Thanks! I just thought a sword cane would be cool as an avatar.

Virgil: I hope I'll never have to wield my pen.
