Once again it was calendar time, so Diane and I went off to Barnes & Noble and looked for some. As luck would have it, most of the 2013 calendars remaining were 40% off. With my membership discount, I was even given a further 10% off. So we left the store with 2 new calendars and 2 discounted puzzles to serve as additional holiday gifts for our grandchildren. Store personnel were helpful, and at the magazine section I also learned that Newsweek will no longer be published in paper form beginning January of 2013 (Boo hiss!).
Sometimes technological advances go too far! I will always prefer thumbing through a printed magazine over viewing small text and pictures of articles on a small screen. I still prefer reading books made of bound pages, too. If this makes me the equivalent of a dinosaur, so be it! i'll wear the label proudly.
