You work way ahead of the calendar on a bimonthly magazine. We’re just wrapping up the May/June issue here at ANGELS ON EARTH, and sometimes I forget what time of year it is.
I wake up thinking I forgot to send my daddy a Father’s Day card, or that I have to text Mama for Mother’s Day. You see, she got a fancy new cell phone and is wild about texting. “Makes me feel young!” she says.
So on a cold, rainy March day in New York, I get to think about putting together our next issue, July/August. Summer is my favorite time of year, and it’s just around the corner, thank goodness. Except that means I also have a birthday coming up.
On July 17 I’ll be another year older. Yikes! Maybe it’s high time I start texting too. I have a cell phone and can learn all the shorthand and abbreviations from my 12-year-old daughter. It works for Mama, why not for me. TTLY!
