<\/a><\/div>\nIt is quiet this morning. My husband is at a Men’s Breakfast, my kids are asleep, the dog is laying quietly by the fireplace (hoping I will start a fire today).<\/p>\n
I am drinking a cup of coffee and have just devoured the front section of the newspaper. As much as I enjoy skimming the headlines on my browser’s opening page, or getting news feed from a local television<\/a> station or even my newspaper<\/a> through Facebook – nothing quite matches the feel of a newspaper in my hands. This morning’s edition seemed especially interesting with editorials by Kathleen Parker<\/a> of The Washington Post, David Brooks<\/a> and Paul Krugman<\/a> of The New York Times. Not to be outdone our local columnist Betsi Robinson<\/a> had a fun piece on kids, parents, and Facebook.<\/p>\n I gave up the newspaper for a time, thinking it was wasted money for all the days I don’t get around to reading it – but I found I felt out of touch and really missed it – so back it came. It is a comfortable friend and I sincerely hope that paper newspapers stay around. Besides -what else would I use to start the fire in the fireplace and make the dog happy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is quiet this morning.
