The "They're Always After" Edition
Dear Readers,
Literally running to a plane. The articles will have to speak for themselves.
Speaking of speaking, a longtime reader/first-time emailer pinged me with a great idea. It is to give a link to the audio version of each story, along with the text-version. Some publishers do this through their Audm or other App. I’m going to investigate this great idea and report back next in the coming weeks. Who’s in? (P.S. this is where a ‘poll function’ would be handy).
Okay, gotta go.
This week you’ll have to read, not listen to at least a few of these articles by, for, and about women, delivered straight to your inbox every Sunday. The best in Politics, Business, Health, Pop Culture, The Arts, Sports, and more. Enjoy.
If you aren’t already a subscriber, do it now:
If you have a story you think I may have missed, tell me:
And if you’d like to tell a friend about the Paper, please do:
Oh, and…just FYI, I might be the only person in the world who thinks that the worst-reviewed movie, maybe ever, is the best thing I’ve seen in months! Give me Rebel Wilson, smart, funny, teen/high school/revenge-comedy-with-a-twist and I’m IN! The rest of the world, however, is OUT. “Senior Year.” Netflix. As usual, it’s me against the world. I am not ‘zigging where others are zagging for any effect. I lolled my ass off. Enjoy.
See you next week from closer shores. Have a great start to your Memorial Day Weekend week!
