For that reason, it gives me particular pleasure to announce the launch of Eric's latest enterprise: Cosmo's Urban Almanac (see the ad on page 111). When Eric was contemplating starting Utne Reader, the first name he chose for it was American Almanac. For as long as I have known him, he has been fascinated with almanacs, with Benjamin Franklin (of Poor Richard's Almanac fame), and with how we interact with the rhythms of nature. So this time he has set his eclectic sensibility loose on the question of how we might find our place in nature, now that, for the first time in history, more than half the planet's population lives in cities. Family pride aside, I have to say that he is creating an annual publication that is useful, inspiring, eccentric, beautiful, and utterly original. Check it out.

The last words my grandmother said to me, in a moment of clarity that broke through her senility, were these: 'It's all family, isn't it?'
