Merry Mikemas Everybody!
I write to you tonight on a blessed Mikemas Eve.
If you ever want to conjure up a wellspring of vaguely melancholy feelings, try using fancy digital touch-up tools to try to improve a picture of yourself when you were no older than a handful of days.
This is dangerous territory for my emotional well-being for several reasons:
1) I don't recognize that kid up there, but everybody has told me it's me. It's always odd to see evidence of the you that existed before you knew you.
2) Using a computer on an artifact that is almost thirty-one years old seems kind of anachronistically wrong, as if you were trying to improve upon a pure, simple truth. "Machine in the garden" or something to that effect...I am uncomfortable with that project.
3) Innocence, helplessness...I was once innocent and helpless?
4) I used to be so damn adorable!
All that said, however, I must say that 30 was a good year and I am looking forward to 31. Thanks for sharing it all with me.

On another note, I'm excited about the new book club!
Yeah, me too.
It should be fun!
(In the way that reading books and talking about them is fun!) :-P
