Sitting out in the backyard this morning on my chaise longue, reading the NY Times (Sunday is the only day I get hard copy.), I read articles we would talk about if we were sitting around together on an old-fashioned Sunday.  I began to cut some out, deciding I didn’t want to scan them to you.  This week, my cohort will be receiving actual clippings in the mail. Just things we might have mentioned were we together.  I’m not a fool.  I don’t actually expect you to read the clippings.  We all rely heavily on the delete key and the “recycle-unread” bin.   Delivery of the Sunday Times costs $5.00.  Crazy. Even crazier: a first-class letter costs almost 60¢.
