Our wings are not tired.

Still in hot Florida. Looking at 86F today, so not too bad. My plan was originally to go back to Otter Lake the 4th and stay until the end of the month. Now my sister has to have a medical procedure on the 11th, which I would like to stay for, and DH has basketball try-outs on the 15-17th. So now it looks like I won't get back until the 19th at the earliest, with my SILs and their sons arriving on the 20th. Yikes. Then spend about a week and head back.

It wouldn't be so bad except I left quite a lot of stuff up north thinking I was only here a short time. Like my vitamins, my work phone, favorite cooking devices. Ugh.

Because books.

That's such a long trip, too, Laura! But October up there must be beautiful.

Anyone have thoughts on the best paper to subscribe to online? I'm waffling between the NY Times and the Washington Post.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Times pisses me off too much, so I subscribe to the Post. Also I enjoy many of their weekly chats.

Because books.

That was my thought. I kind of don't want to give money to the Times on principle.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Trying to convince ltc she needed to wear long sleeves and a heavy jacket today after how warm it was yesterday was no fun.

I subscribe to both, and moderate a Times reader's group. Sure, they make me crazy at times, but I still find them a good source. I think my subscription lets me invite people for $1 a week subscription.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I subscribe to WaPo pretty much because of Alexandra Petri

information libertarian

Here in Ohio today's forecast high is 91 and low is 51. I can;t wait until the change!

I subscribe to both the Times and the Post but I read the Times much more. That's at least partly habit; I grew up with the Times.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I get not wanting to give money to the NY Times. On the other hand, I believe WaPo is owned by Jeff Bezos (Amazon). Of course, with my Amazon ebook addiction, I can't really talk.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Here in Ohio today's forecast high is 91 and low is 51.

You're a day behind the East Coast! Of course, our lovely cool fall weather came with a lovely dose of soggy wet rain, so, you know.

WaPo is owned by Bezos personally, not by Amazon. If that makes a difference to anyone.
