Hitting the Trifecta
Today I:
Pathetic, I know. But if you saw the stacks of newspapers and New Yorkers in our living room, you'd understand how pleased I am to have made this tiny bit of progress.
And I bet Zach will be even more pleased when he reads this, since he has recently embarked upon the Great Paper-wrangling Caper of '06. Between the periodicals and the medical bills and the insurance statements, I am sure that I have been causing him great consternation.
So I am thanking him very publicly for his patience and, as a show of good faith, hereby offering to negotiate a Paperwork Non-proliferation Agreement with clearly defined targets and timetables.
(I already said I was pathetic. What more do you want?)
- Finished the almost current issue of The New Yorker. (And yes, that means cover to cover.)
- Read all of today's New York Times.
- Did my physical-therapy exercises (wildly unattractive lymphedema sleeve and all).

Jody, I'm very impressed that you make it to the final page of the current issue of the New Yorker. I'm perpetually four weeks behind, and count on long plane trips to even come close to catching up.
A silver lining???

hmmm... instead of herding cats, herding tracts?
I just love the word 'caper'. And I don't mean the 'what you buy to serve with bagels locks and cream cheese then have a 98% full bottle in your fridge forever' noun. I mean the 'we're doing something a smidge illicit but really more madcap and zany cuz it's all in good fun' noun. And I'm really thankful that it has yet to be turned into a verb...

oops, that would be 'lox'.
