Not so much a great pen, but a great moment.
My favorite scene in any movie is the end of Shawshank Redemption. One of the finest endings anywhere. Red goes under a tree in Buxton, Maine (in reality filmed some place in Ohio) and opens Andy's lunchbox, where he gets the Andy's money and invitation for Zihuatanejo.
The tree in the scene reportedly got struck by lightning and died a while back.

Supposedly, it was made into trinkets.
I got this from my wife as a christmas present. Is it from the real tree? A fake? Who knows?
Really, who even cares?
I probably need to carry it with me every footstep I take. I will take it to work tomorrow.
Hope is a good thing.
