I heard about The New Yorker magazine a long time ago and kind of ignored it because I thought it was focused on New York.

Boy was I wrong! I just subscribed and found 2 books that I'm going to try to read. They're not new books but they sound interesting.

I'm feeling really low. I'm not engaged in my hobby - I just can't get into it.

I can see the rut in the road and am circling it, trying to avoid getting stuck in it.
