I spent a lot of time looking through Traveler's Journals and assorted accoutrements yesterday, which included a lot of brass - brass pens, brass clips, brass rulers, etc.

There was so much talk of "it will take on a nice patina" - everyone loves a good patina.

Hey did we ever consider that AGING also gives us, humans, a nice patina? My little brass fountain pen is more beautiful for its age. It also smells a little weirder. But that's aging too. Let's just embrace the whole thing.
