Every month I get a number of magazines. I get the Linking Ring, which is
the magazine for the International Brotherhood of Magicians. Next month in it
will be an article I wrote. I get The Restorer, the magazine of the Model A
Ford Club of America, since I am the attorney for the club. They have 30,000
members so it is hard to compare that magazine to the Review. I get a
magazine for the Trial Lawyers of America, but they have over 50,000 members.
I get
the Quarterly, and had written an article for the last ten issues or so, and
they keep asking me to write something every issue. I have never heard
from anyone who read one of my articles, so I probably won't write for them
again.
By the time I get to the Review, I am pleased with the cover picture, an
article or two and some pictures of some dogs I haven't seen. I have not been
asked to write an article for years now, but if I am needed, I will be asked
and I will do it.
When I do read the Review I am proud of our club, and find a minute to
reflect on the future of the breed. I get a copy every month, and I don't
look at
the cover to see if it is behind or what month it is. When I send in an ad,
it is so well done, that it makes me proud to have sent it in. Gail always
improves what we send. I always make sure there is enough lead time, that I
don't have to worry about the magazine being late.
Tomorrow night I will do what I do every year at that time. I will sit in
my office by myself and reflect on what I did to make the world a little
better for someone. I will consider what I might do next year to help
another,
and how I can change what I have been doing to find a better way to improve
someone's life. And, I hope to find a way to do better the next year.
I will consider what mistakes I have made, and what I can do to avoid doing
it again. But, what I will not do is try to find who has failed me, who has
caused me pain, or who I should blame.
Each year I do wonder how I survived another year and why? A child I
arranged for adoption 18 years ago is starting chemo, and I will think if there
might be some way I can help. I will think of those who are no longer here,
and
those who are. My friends, people I have not met and those who might join
one of those groups in the next year.
I will think carefully about how I will begin and hopefully finish the next
year, and it looks like this year I will start the year by sitting with Tedi
in the rain watching the Rose parade in Pasadena.
It sounds like a good way to begin 2006. Then I will look for the next
issue of the Review, in about a month. I will read The Restorer, The Linking
Ring, the Review, and The Quarterly whenever they come.
Then in 356 days I will do it again. Not that there is anything wrong with
that.
