Introductory Offer

(photo by Sarah Moon)

I may switch my morning reading from the New York Times to the Washington Post since the former is now charging for online subscriptions.  I have a friend who seems to prefer the Post.  There is also the Herald Tribune.  I hate giving up on the Times because I love New York, but times being what they are, as they say. . . .  It is not that I begrudge the paper some money.  I may relent.  The introductory offer is reasonable, but it is just that.  That means they are shilling and scamming.  And there's the rub.

There seems little advantage in knowing what is going on anymore anyway.

    Don't read the news. It's National Poetry Month, immerse.

    All you ever needed to know can be read in the vast constellation of poetry that litters the world -- like breathing stars.

  5. L, Yes, they've closed up shops all week in my home town in honor of it. It is one of the biggest celebrations of the year. There are days of poetry readings. The main boulevard is closed to traffic to accommodate the crowds. You should be here. It is really something.

    R, I'm flattered. I'll try to be a less reliable but more entertaining source : )

    L, Yea, I know. Read today's post.
