I've never been one to enjoy those newspapers that are so large it takes all day to read, but I do read our local newspaper every morning. Red never picks it up except to bring it inside the door. If there is something I think he should read I will put the paper in his hands and say, "You need to read this". He relies on me to let him know when we will have garbage pickup during the holidays, who died, and, most important, what streets will be closed for repair. That is important in a college town when traffic on certain days and during certain hours is like evacuating the coast during a hurricane. Other than that we are stictly online news. I visit several sites for my fix on the nation and the world, and because we play trivia I always pay close attention to those zany current events bits.
