new year, new yorker:

I decided to address my nasty habit of reading articles and magazines without actually reading them by committing to The New Yorker for one month. I read this issue of the text-heavy magazine cover to cover only because my friend's Velcro annotations pulled me into articles that I'm certain to have skipped.

I bought my next issue at JFK a few days later on my way to Arizona then another for my flight home. Now I chomp for the next issue and impatiently wait for my one-year subscription to kick in.

It took a while but I've finally grown into The New Yorker and it couldn't have come at a better time.

Happy birthday to me.

things I'm still not used to:

Eating all of the scrambled eggs.
Turning lights off when we leave.
Not needing to come home.
Being in for the night at 6 p.m.
Picking up food I've dropped.
Eating the whole bowl of popcorn.
Sleeping in.
Walking by Fetch with no reason to enter.
The big gaping hole in my heart.

further proof of my very good year:

Thank you, A. V. Crofts, for allowing me
to pair my images with your words
in this month's issue of ARCADE.

Let's make it habit.

This was my favorite poem from Shel Silverstein's new book Every Thing On It. It makes me a bit sad every time I read it but that's OK. What a genius.

I found this gem in an old journal.
It is simply to good to be tucked away.
Go big.
Now bigger.
