Well, we’ve made another trip around the sun, just one of the possible significances of this year’s new year card image. In a break from historical practice, rather than using a photograph of some kind, I hand-painted one of these circles on each card. Yes, I still insist on sending paper cards even though every year it gets more expensive to mail them and harder to gather the snail addresses of online friends. Whether you get a paper one or are just looking at this on your screen, I hope you enjoy it.
Happy new year everybody!

I stopped doing holiday cards a while ago – even though I dabble in the fantastic photo card from time to time. What I prefer to create is the Leap-Year letter. This is a note to give people the four-year view of my life.
It’s infrequent. It’s chock full of stories that seemingly (maybe only to me) have more weight for making the leap-year-letter cut. And it’s noticeable because it’s mailed out sometime in March or April.
Settle down, it’s not called the Punctuality Letter!
A happy and safe 2010 to you and anyone who cares about canards.
I just got the holiday card today. So did Charlie.
Thanks for the holiday card, and great to hear from you again after the time void when you disappeared before x-mas last year.
