I remember the painstaking skill of folding the New York Times so as not to disturb fellow passengers on the train while commuting to the City.
A concise folding that allowed me to read an article and get to the continuation of the story several pages in without sharing the large paper with my neighbor and spilling my coffee.
I find a certain pleasure in reading “the Paper”. We still have two newspapers delivered every day. Yet, I also find myself getting a lot - if not, most - of the news off my phone.
The dilemma ensues. Keep having the papers delivered or go digital? Paper, cost, etc. Many considerations.
I know some people who have found a compromise. Have the paper delivered on weekends only. A thought.
Until I make a decision, I’ll pick up the papers on the porch every morning and sit and read. But no more folding.
