First let me thank everyone who left comments yesterday
that was a big spirit booster to me. And second I have to give a big shout out
to my friend, Jeni, for cracking the whip on me to help me get a big chunk of
schoolwork done last night. I’m starting to get back into my grove but it is
still a work in progress. But last night was the beginning and it got me going
today. Though I still slept in it wasn’t as bad as normal. I even had a cup of
coffee today. Oh how I missed my coffee. Plus I read my paper today on my
Kindle, which is the subject of today’s visit to the library. And it felt so
good.
As I think I mentioned in a previous post of this column
I read The Washington Post, which I
find to be a fairly well balanced newspaper. Though I get it digitally on my
Kindle. So I don’t get all the ads that come in the paper edition. But I find
the stories fairly free of bias from what I have read so far since I got my
subscription. Plus I like its index style and ability to read full screen with
bigger print. That feature makes it much easier on my eyes. I’ll admit I don’t
read every story in the paper, but I do read a great majority of them. Even the
ones that make me furious, but not as furious as watching the news on
television. Somehow reading the news is not as infuriating for me as watching
it. But it still gives me ideas to write about here. And that is just from the front pages, I’m
still getting acquainted with the paper.
I can only imagine what I will find as I go deeper. I’m
sure only more good stuff. As I did just find when taking a break from writing
there are a ton of great articles as you delve deeper into the paper, some you
will like and some you might not like. But everyone has their own tastes. Today’s
comic brought a smile to me. I am sure it will make its way to Facebook soon
enough. There is a bit everything from the businessman looking for what is
going on the markets and among big corporations. To the casual man wondering
what is going on in the entertainment world. To the academic curious about the
world as a whole. From what I can see there is a section for everyone in there.
I think I have rambled on enough for one day for now
though. As for me I think I will read a few chapters in one of my much
neglected books and maybe even a short story if there is enough time before
getting down to the grindstone. I do have late schoolwork to get done after
all. *Tips his hat and walks out the door looking for a comfy chair.*
good to hear you are getting back to your groove.
