gift horse

Gifts can come at any time of the year. The best—and the worst—gifts are things you would never think to buy yourself. The magazine at left falls into one of those categories. Someone has gifted me with subscriptions to Bridal Guide and Popular Photography, a gear magazine. They are addressed to me at a house in Block Island where I do not receive mail and forwarded to me in New York. Not only do I dislike subscriptions that pile up outside whichever house I'm not living in at the time—but these titles? Somebody, somewhere is having a laugh. Please step forward!
