Time for News

Today as I was at the grocery store, I did what I do almost evertime I am there - picked up a copy of The New York Times. I love reading through the print copy as compared to the online version. There's still something about getting the newsprint all over your hands.

I wish I could or would read the Times everyday. For one - I ask myself is it worth the expense? Two - would I really make time everyday to read it. I know I'd want to read it first thing in the morning, but I wouldn't be willing to get up early.

I've been using the weekends recently to catch up on reading. I have such a stack of magazines and books here to read. Then I find so many things of interest on the internet to read that I print them out and save them for later to read. That just adds to the pile. I know I rush through reading them because I want to shorten the pile.

As I read the Times, I think back to when I was in college and read at least five newspapers everyday. YES - FIVE! I did television news and hosted my own television talk show where I talked local and national news and politics. I also did some radio news and hosted a radio talk show. It was important to be well read. How did I find the time everyday to read - The New York Times, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, The Clarion News, The Oil City Derrick and The USA Today? And I still did TV and radio and went to class on top of that? How did I do it?

HMM - maybe I can find time to read the NY Times everyday? I read a lot of the PG and the Times online everyday - couldn't I fit it in? If I could convince myself to wait until I got home to read it - it jsut might work.

Just some random thoughs for a Saturday afternoon.
