I thought he was referring to the mythical paperless office, where all is done with computer files to conserve paper..

We receive the paper, but are cutting back to Sunday only, as we have several bird cages we need to paper. I find that I have already read most of the content on the internet, long before it hits our local rag.

I thought this was where he was going as well. It does fit with his profession after all.

Father in process of trying to find a buyer for his Wholesale distributorship of local paper..........purchased the runs back in 1976 for $200,000. You would think with inflation and everything it would be worth at least 5 times that now....you would think.

He has only had two offers and the best one was for $77,000.

Read your local papers as if my dads retirement counted on it

I was thinking he was going to be offering advice.

Maybe he learned how to use the three seashells.

While I abhor the editorial policies of the LA Times, I still purchase it on days where I have lunch alone. For what I hit, it is just the right amount of time for a one hour lunch.

I usually start with Steve Harvey's "Only in LA" column, read the rest of the Metro section (yeah, I know it isn't called the Metro section anymore), hits the comics, and then peruse the Business Section (and catch one last comic). Time permitting, I might also hit the Sports section (although I always already know how the Dodgers are doing). When Fry's has a six or eight-page insert, I always read that, even though I never buy anything there. Just an odd habit.

It would probably be cheaper to subscribe, but I would be throwing away (read: wasting) too many. I almost always fold up and re-assemble the paper so that someone else may enjoy it.

I guess I am just addicted to the tactile reading of the newspaper.

I love to read my morning newspaper. It is my, me time. We all need some time that is just for us alone and my morning tub and paper is my, me time.
