73 degrees today, very nice, neither too cool nor warm.
My experiment with trying to "have it all" and read the Commercial Appeal, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times is actually going well. I thought I would be overwhelmed by the amount of time it takes to read them, but it hasn't. I have had to set priorities.
I actually have a lot of respect for each paper in it's respective world it attempts to inhabit. (I also read the on-line version of the USA Today. I like it, but I also never look at the videos.) It is worth the time, and, if I am out of town, I can look at them on the Internet. (The Commercial Appeal has the best replica edition by far.)
I have learned to skip the "junk" news about "celebrities" (except for local ones that Michael Donahue writes about), crime, puff pieces etc. Each paper seems to have it's own brand of news that is unique and I actually find little overlap. Like several t-shirts I have read "So many Newspapers, so little time" (Well, they actually read "books", but same thought.
My early mornings, from 3:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. are so packed, I have no flex time built in. So anytime I have an early morning meeting I have to cut something. I tell people (if I"m late) I didn't get up late, I just ran out of time! I always leave time for my 27 minutes nap in the morning after I walk, ride and shower.
Today is election day here. I will be glad to see all of the signs gone and not trashing up the city.
Still listening to the Willpower Instinct. I plan on deep-reading chapter 2 of the book this weekend and making notes on it. Probably becoming better organized will be my "willpower" project.
Either tomorrow or Saturday will officially end the Summer of 2013 and Autumn will start. Overall, it's been a good Summer, a little cool, but a good Summer.
