In the New Yorker...

I believe these were on the list.

I highly recommend his standup (on HBO or Netflix?) called "The Great Depresh."
As for "so don't I," thanks for the warning for next time I visit New England. Now I won't have to give the person a blank look and say, "You don't what?"

I found in the process of doing it that not everybody has that problem. But my magazines and books felt like way more than I could keep up with! Punchline is that this was in the early '90s -- before I was on the internet.

When I lived in Michigan and my children were little, I received a lot of magazines because my husband was brand director of a liquor line. You couldn't advertise on television back then, so he only had magazines and special events to spend his $20 million ad budget on. I had a goal of reading a magazine per day, and I had to raise it to several per day later. I was a magazine reading freak! Those were the days...I guess some of those magazines have stopped publishing. Martha Stewart Living has and many others. So much work for journalists and photographers has come to an end. I wonder how people are getting by.

It has gotten a lot harder. Several of the magazines I've written for are RIP. Remember More? Also, Better Homes and Garden's Family Money, not sure about Working Mother, I think Parents is still around but all online now ... There are a lot more places to publish now but the pay is much worse. I once heard (this may be untrue or dated) TNY pays $10,000 for a print story and $150 for online. And the online Shouts & Murders are often better!

Martha Stewart Living is no longer published? I'm shocked! :o
