• Figuring out Noah Webster’s tenuous connection to Albany. (He actually spent more time in Lansingburgh, by all accounts.)
  • Filling out proposals.
  • Feeling like a traitor to quality publishing because I’m scanning xerox copies of halftones for an author who doesn’t understand that the images will suck, and wouldn’t care if he did.
  • Figuring out how to make carrot casserole and butternut squash casserole from the same recipe, on the same day.
  • Transporting people everywhere in the Capital District.
  • Eating too many Newman’s Own ginger mints.
  • Finally digitizing a backlog of old LPs, and then finally updating my iTunes list.

  1. Whoh whoh whoh! Did I miss something? What are these Newman’s Own Ginger Mints of which you speak? Did they buy the Altoids franchise? Are they comparable? Or are Newman’s Own to Altoids as Methadone is to Heroin?

  2. Here’s the deal: mysteriously, Altoids were no longer eligible for free shipping with Amazon Prime, but Newman’s Own were. Organic, cane sugar, they taste different from the Altoids but are no less addictive.
