A NEW CALLING — by Steve Nadis
I’ve found a new calling and a new way to waste time that’s giving my Sudoku habit a run for the money. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve started sending in caption ideas for the cartoons in the New Yorker, Boston Globe Magazine, and perhaps other outlets if I can find them. Not to be immodest but I’ve got a real flair for caption writing, a hitherto unknown talent that I never would have discoverd had I not noticed such a contest in the New Yorker for the first time a few weeks ago. And now I’m hooked. Just another thing to do before I go to bed at night–part of a growing list of things. If it gets much bigger, I won’t have to bother going to bed.

I’m not surprised. Caption writing is closely related to bumpersticker writing. Think of all the practice you’ve had writing bumperstickers! If you make it big as a caption writer, then all of us bumpersticker contestants can brag that we helped you get your start.
Thanks OR. I appreciate the support. However, I might have been overly confident in that last missive, as my next post may explain…
