Talked to a retired guy at the library and he changed how I see my old drafting table

I was sketching at the central library in Springfield last Tuesday and an older man sat down. He pointed at my portable board and said, 'You know, I did my best work on a wobbly kitchen table for 30 years.' That stuck with me because I've been saving for a $2,000 professional table, thinking my gear was the problem. He made me realize I'm focusing on the tool, not the skill. Has anyone else had a moment that made you stop chasing the 'perfect' setup?

My $300 pen still writes crap.

Ha, I read a whole thing about how expensive pens don't fix bad handwriting.

Maybe you just write crap with it.
