Orange Crate Art at fifteen

Orange Crate Art turns fifteen today. It’s applying for a learner’s permit tomorrow. Wish us luck.

Writing every day, or nearly every day, is a great pleasure to me, whatever the fortunes of “the blogosphere,” whatever the number of hits per post. For me, keeping a blog is a way of fostering a habit of attention, which means fostering a habit of learning, permit or no permit.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you, Diane.

Sean said...

Congratulations, Michael; OCA has been one of my favorite places to loiter.

Stefan said...

Congratulations, Michael. Time to start thinking about what college you want to attend.

Michael Leddy said...

Thanks, Sean and Stefan.

Loiterers are welcome here, as areo flâneurs.

About college: my scheme to pass as one of Felicity Huffman’s lesser-known children has hit a snag.

Tororo said...

Congratulations from another flâneur.

Fresca said...

Happy Birthday, Orange Crate Art!

I googled Famous 2004 Births:
OCA is the same age as the girl who plays Eleven on "Stranger Things."

P.S. Your bloggery inspires me to keep blogging too, so thanks for that, as well as all the good reading.

Michael Leddy said...

Thanks, Toronto. Thanks, Fresca.

I just looked at one of those lists, and I’m not surprised that Millie Bobby Brown is the only name I recognize. By the way, I think Hopper is alive. :)

Congratulations, Michael. Here's to fifteen more!

Stephen said...

Congratulations on the anniversary! Orange Crate Art remains one of the shining lights of blogging.

Michael Leddy said...

Thanks, Mike. Thanks, Chris. And thanks, Stephen.

So Fresca, you, too, think Hopper is alive? I can’t imagine they’d pass up the chance to have Eleven “see” him in Russia and somehow get him out.

Fresca said...

I think Hopper is "dead" like Spock in "Wrath of Khan" and Han Solo in "Return of the Jedi".
That is, not dead.
