It's sad for me to admit it but I seem to be gravitating toward reading the paper on line.
(Some months ago there was a newspaper reporter in my office, meeting people and writing a piece. He said to each and every person he met: please read the paper paper! And now I cannot stop thinking about him.)
The thing is, I can skip to my favorite writers and sections and I don't have to carry the paper, which is unweildy on the train and has sections I don't care about (another tough thing to admit).
Still, though, there is nothing like relaxing with the Sunday paper...and they've just re-designed it.
All this to say that I'm stressed and busy this week and this moved me and you should read it.
Also, it's Survivor night!
I'm going to watch it (K is making shepherd's pie) but I'm not sure I'm going to post on it.
(Yesterday, in the ladies room at work, I overheard two co-workers chatting animatedly about Survivor. I was so excited!)
I'll talk to you later.

I don't subscribe to the Times, but I read it online voraciously. (My local paper is fit only for the bottom of a birdcage.)

We read the paper paper every day bought at the newspaper shop down my house.

I have always hated the paper paper. WHY it's so giant is beyond me. It would be way more manageable if it were the size of a magazine. I hate the ads. It's inky. The ONLY thing I like about it is the X-word.
There's no way that story would have been in the gazette - one the Colorado Springs newspapers. the gazette is such a crap newspaper they sell advertizing BEFORE the front page on Sundays. They put a tiny half page IN FRONT of page one! Can you believe that. Plus they put the sports section before the local news.
I live in a town with FIVE military bases. The 4th Infantry Division is located here. They've fought in Iraq and Afganistan. They pour millions of dollars into our local economy yet the gazette puts the sports section BEFORE the local news section. PLUS, for reasons unknown, the gazette no longer flies the American flag in front of their building. and people wonder why paper papers are shutting down.
