Jeez, I’m sorry I haven’t been posting much. Haven you noticed? I’ve been working on a totally consuming project that’s taking me forever to finish. I’m contributing an essay on Vermont to an upcoming book called “State by State,” edited by Sean Wilsey and Matt Wieland. A graphic essay. I’m feeling very resentful and envious of the people contributing normal prose essays–they type something up and that’s it! But that’s only the halfway point for me. Then I have to design, photograph, sketch, draw, typeset, ink, scan, paint, and endlessly tweak every square millimeter of the fucking thing.

I have also sort of started dating someone, which I tell you because this, too, has had a deleterious effect on my blogging. I think in some ways the blog has been like a significant other for me. Or at least, an activity where I spent the time I might otherwise have been spending doing whatever it is people do with one another.
