It's rather annoying that I renewed my subscription to The New Yorker later than I should have and now am facing about a month's gap in delivery. I tend to renew all of my subscriptions at the same time every winter, and I thought I took care of this one a couple months back, but I guess it slipped through the cracks. I've been reading the magazine since my first year of teaching and I look forward to digesting its contents every week. A creature of habit, I guess. So this means I need to go out and buy the latest issue on the newsstand the next few weeks.
