my desk

When I turned fourteen, my big birthday present that year was a drafting table. My grandfather brought me down to CC Lowell art supply store on Park Ave in Worcester and I picked one out what looked like the ones used in all of the cartoonists books that I had. That night, we had Chinese food. My fortune cookie read, "You will be successful in your work." I taped the fortune to the top left corner of my desk.

I still work on that desk today.
