Various Thoughts

I actually had time to read much of the Sunday NYT while visiting my inlaws this weekend (partly because the second half of the paper comes on Saturday - I wish the Globe would do that for either my Sunday Globe or Sunday times).

The travel section had an article on tea in Portland, OR that made me want to go back. Robin and I had some great tea there on our honeymoon.

Then Sunday Styles made me realize: it's hip to be a librarian. And I am proudly one (even if I'm not really a practicing one). Not only am I a librarian, I'm a Guybrarian.

Lastly, a curious 21st century moment: I took the twins to see "Ratatouille" (a great movie). I had to explain to Joshua that there was no DVD playing, but rather film, and it didn't had a menu, and (most tragically) I couldn't fast-forward through the parts he found scary. Kids these days: he understands the difference between a DVR and a DVD, but doesn't have a concept of what film is.

  • The Boston Globe experimented with delivering most of the Sunday paper on Saturday. I think it was in the 1999-2000 time frame. It apparently wasn't too successful. (their execution and marketing of it was slightly different, the TV commercials described it as The Sunday paper on Saturday.
