Using the Hovel pencil sharpener

Typewritten text of the following. GETTING RIGHT TO THE POINT.
I just acquired a Hovel pencil sharpener. It's essentially a small wood plane that you stroke over a pencil's casing and lead. I never was any good at using normal-size planes, so perfecting my Hovel technique is taking a little work. With patience, it's possible to create a longer, sharper point than with most conventional sharpeners. In the photo above, I used a Kum Masterpiece on the yellow Blackwing and the Hovel on the Blackwing 602. Thanks to my pals Andy Pierce and Frank Mariani for letter me know about the Hovel sharpener!

At least for now, you can watch the TV movie “Roswell” on YouTube. There are excellent performances by Kyle MacLachlan, Dwight Yoakam, and Martin Sheen. The music in this production is incredibly creepy and adds a lot.

It’s a big, wide wonderful world

I fully accept Charles Fort’s observation that one measures a circle beginning anywhere.
