End of an era...

Eva told me recently she thinks she's outgrown Cricket magazine. Of course, this was after the auto-renew went through, but that's not the sad part.

I got Cricket for a year when I was a kid. I still have them - their inaugural year. From what I can see of it online, it looks like they haven't changed much. That's great!

My first thought was that it was about Disney. My second thought was "no."

I'm assuming that's not a magazine about the sport.

I loved Cricket magazine as a kid - I even got bundles of them from garage sales from the years before my subscription. I think I still have them all, too. :)

I got kicked out of the Girl Scouts for being too weird.

Aw, man, I read Cricket for years and then Cicada for years more. They were formative.
