I've never been a big newspaper person. "It bleeds, it leads" is why. I find I still get all the bad news anyway, through Hubby or friends. But it's easier somehow to listen to a brief summary from someone live than to read all the gory details.

I've only ridden once, on our honeymoon, as one of the range of activities offered at the "Honeymoon" place where
we stayed.

I love musicals and our high school put one on every year; The Mikado was probably my favorite (I was one of the 3 sisters). I also went to those put on by my brother's school.
