Orange Crate Art turns twelve tonight tomorrow night, an age best described as “difficult.” Orange Crate Art will often seem very grown up, but may revert to childish behavior at times. It needs nine-and-a-half to ten hours of sleep every night and catches up on weekends. Its voice is deepening, but it sometimes comes up against a mismatch between expectations and actual capabilities. As I said, “difficult.”
But seriously: writing in these pages, day after day after day, gives me more pleasure than any other writing I’ve done. To everyone who’s reading: thank you.

12:14 p.m.: I goofed on the date. My blog turns twelve tomorrow.

Thank you, Michael. Here's to twelve more.
No, I insist, thank *you*.
Fearing an infinite loop, I’ll just offer a warm smile. :)
I guess your blog identifies as a boy?
If it were a girl blog, it could be getting her first period!
Uh, anyway... Happy Birthday, OCA!
So glad you're still here.
Thank you, Fresca.
I think these yearly developments are going to become too awkward. Last year I noted “major bodily and hormonal changes.” In 2014, increased body odor, among other things.
Maybe better to think in terms of whiskey---when OCA turns 25 you could sell it for $44,715.
Thank you for your generosity in sharing your writing.
@Fresca: Unless someone steals it first. (I’m thinking of the Pappy Van Winkle heist.)
And thanks, Anon.
Many, many congratulations, Michael.Your blog goes from strength to strength, the exact opposite to mine!
We started off at about the same time and, like Johnnie Walker, we're still going strong.
I really do love your blog. Keep it up.
Thanks, Barnaby.
P.S.: I just sent you a movie recommendation.
☺️
Congratulations, and thank you.
Thanks, Berit. I think that’s the first emoji to appear here.
