#53 - The Funnies

No New York Times?
​
​
We don't get a paper anymore, but I thought I'd indulge in the New York Times, on Easter Sunday. There were none left by the time I got to the store, at 8 am.

I bought the Houston Chronicle, but I didn't get motivated to open it up for 2 days. I made myself a toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich and tried to get excited about reading the funnies, like I did when I was a kid. 

Old Favorites
​
​
My old favorites were there, but I couldn't conjure up the fun...

I wanted that New York Times and I actually wanted something better than comics.

Al Hirschfeld's Caricatures, in the Times
​
​
Oh how I used to love searching through the New York Times to find Hirschfeld's, black and white drawings of Broadway stars!
Picture
Not because I was a 6-year-old in love with the theatre...

I was mostly delighted by the knowledge that Hirschfeld hid the name of his daughter, Nina in his line drawings! Oh how fun to search every striped pair of pants or pleated skirt in search off the 4 letters!

So for a little 6-year-old fun today, I pulled up the photos I took of my dad's framed Hirschfeld drawings. Sadly, the photo quality is bad and it was hard to zoom in. I tried to find the artist's signature which would usually include a number, indicating how many times he'd hidden his daughter's name. I'm afraid these 3 prints don't have hidden Ninas. Instead I had fun acting my real age and appreciating the messages written to my dad, by some very special people.

I always start my morning with a healthy breakfast. Well, I would not say that it is healthy, but I do try to eat a couple of eggs in the morning. Aside from my breakfast, I also enjoy reading the New York Times newspaper. As a member of the corporate society, it is important that I learn about what is happening in it. The New York Times provides me with the most detailed and most trustworthy news, I really love it.

    Sixty
    Celebrations

    It's April 9, 2017.  I'm celebrating my 60th by removing the zero from my age.

    Party
    ​Like A Six-Year-Old


    I plan to spend this year pondering the good things I remember about my world, when I was 6. I remember those 12 months well, because my family moved from Iowa to NYC for just one year. My memories of 1963-64 are vivid ones.

    My Plan

    I'll celebrate this milestone birthday for 12 months. I'm going to conjure up the early 1960's and have 60 mini celebrations... in the spirit of my 6 year old self!
