I’m just impressed you have the time to flip through mag­a­zines at all. Tak­ing a mag­a­zine sub­scrip­tion to an adult pub­li­ca­tion when you have two young kids in the house seems like a poignant grasp for the fad­ing strings of your for­mer, child­less life. What a kick in the slats that it turns out to be a pub­li­ca­tion you don’t care for. :)

I love mod­ern archi­tec­ture, and I’ve toyed with sub­scrib­ing to Dwell many times. Dwell has some good arti­cles, but it is also heavy on ads. Like Cosmo, the cover says come hither, but there’s often noth­ing under the covers.

And there’s no excuse for not sub­scrib­ing to National Geo­graphic. It’s money well spent.

Of course now I’m also rec­on­cil­ing myself to lim­ited read­ing time and the clut­ter of a func­tion­ing household.
