It's all going to be better now, right?
Hello, Readers All,
No. No, it’s not all going to be better now. But that’s just me being my usual bitter, pessimistic self. I suggest that you ignore me, make those New Year’s resolutions and remember the mask goes over your nose, too. Got it? I knew you would.
And while we’re all at it, let’s remember this. It’s important.

The Coin of the Realm
For those living where cars rule the road, this one may not make a lot of sense. Consider it a bit of exotica from the urban experience.

For the unlimited Metrocard…for me, anyway
And here’s how I maintain my bitter, pessimistic outlook…in case you wanted to join the fun.

Why is that a problem?
Moving to the fiction section of our weekly shindig, here’s something I wrote several years ago for a collaborative writing project that AleXander and I embarked upon called Two Stories Up. It was crazy. We’d each write a new super short story that fit onto one side of a sheet of copy paper. We’d print both stories with accompanying art and then we’d put them into envelopes and snail mail them to assorted friends who signed up to get them. This was my first story and it’s about, what else, The New Year.

AleXander, in the meantime, has written a lovely evocative new piece. He even got JJ to assist with the art.

And there we are. The start of another year of this craziness and I’m not just talking about the newsletters (have you looked outdoors today? Don’t).
It’s blowing my mind, but yes, we’re up to 80 subscribers which ain’t exactly influencer territory but then that’s not my scene. So this scene, it’s the tops! Additionally, huge sloppy wonderful thank you’s to those generous souls leaving coin in the hat. So SO appreciated!

Thank you! RW
