    I'm a reader. Not only a reader but a voracious reader. I'm always reading at least one book. In third grade, I was already at college level in reading. I would walk home from middle school, through the streets of Manhattan, reading and narrowly ...

    I'm not a procrastinator. Honestly I'm not. I'm the sort who says let's do it and get it over with so I don't have this hanging over my head. Until now.This sweater is kicking my ass. First it was the monotony of the knit one row, purl one row. ...
