Last week at work I was given the latest issue of Titan’s Torchwood<\/i> magazine. It sat on my desk, and yesterday evening I shoved it into my BPRD bag on my way out of the office, for something to read on the commute home.<\/p>\n
Flipping through the magazine, I read about a book called Dear Me<\/a>. A group of people, among them Stephen Fry, Yoko Ono, and John Barrowman, write letters to themselves at the age of sixteen.<\/p>\n This sounded rather intriguing, and some Google use at home turned up the book’s website<\/a>, where others who have written letters to themselves, aged sixteen, can share their insights.<\/p>\n I thought about this last night. Really pondered it.<\/p>\n And I figured out what I would say, in a letter to myself, aged sixteen.<\/p>\n I started writing it out on the subway this morning. I added another page on the trip home.<\/p>\n My plan is to run the letter on my blog on New Year’s Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week at work I was given the latest issue of Titan’s Torchwood magazine.
