Magazines--The Obsession Continues

As is happening more often than not, we were racing to get somewhere on time.

Racing,

Racing,

Racing

When we got to destination, the people we were meeting were'nt there.

We were only a minute late, I mean a minute late is like being early these days.

A minute's tardiness and yet there was no one around.

I looked at my watch again,

10:03.

It was 10:01 at first glance, now after apparently searching for 2 minutes.....
It was 10:03.

We were supposed to meet at 11 am.

We were an hour early.

Waiting

Waiting

Waiting

So we went over to a nearby bookseller which had a coffee shop included as is the fashion of the day. So I ordered up a breakfast type thing that was sealed in plastic, then microwaved fresh for me, since I had skipped that in order to be on time, and then wandered over to the magazine rack.

Why can't I control myself?




There's a reason behind the purchase of each;

Urban Farm, Hobby Farm, Gardening and Dwell; see previous post, but seriously there is at least one article of interest/import in each. And these are just the three that made the cut. I had probably a dozen more on topic that I didn't get.

Getting Published and Writer's Digest Guide to Creativity--Because I should get paid for all the babble I commit to paper or to a computer screen. Technology sure can change common expressions, yet still a far cry from being a "paperless" society. The sheer number of magazines out there is testament to that.

Pirates--A tough magazine to find, so I usually buy it when I run across it.

Tap Out --Because my 1st jui jitsu instructor--Rigan Machado has an article in it and there are some techniques in there that might get me out of a jam. No really.

The Atlantic is kind of a cheat. I didn't actually buy that on this spree. I have a subscription but I needed an additional glossy to finish off the grid.

I love my magazines.
