24-28.

24-28 just need to be sent out. I'll send these out to various mailboxes in one day. The project didn't go quite as planned but it has been fun. I hope each of the people who participated enjoys their mail and their artwork.

I still have video to do. One video of the large mailing of 11-23 that went out a week ago and then video for the five envelopes you see above.

Once all that gets wrapped up, I'm looking to start laying out the zine where I'll talk about the project. I'll mention why I started it and the results and what I plan to do next. Each participant will get their own page with their artwork and the information they sent me. It'll explain my reasoning behind their envelope artwork also (the artwork that was found inside was random.)

I hope to finish up the video from the large mailing early next week and have the rest of the videos posted by the end.

Thanks and happy mailing!

Sometimes it can be tough to get kids to understand the importance of reading and just plain learning in general. The Corner is a group of guys showing kids that learning can be fun. Using slick rhymes and funny content the guys at the Corner definitely are doing it proper. Help them out by contributing to their Kickstarter, they have 19 days left!

Each day I receive an email from Today I Found Out. Their emails and website have a lot of interesting facts and information. Check them out if you need a cure for your curiosity or just happen to find yourself shut in during a snow day.

Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
