This was a day to get caught up on reading the paper after I got home from work. The snow seemed to be much ado about nothing, as I made it to work on time in spite of it. Though some colleagues were not as lucky, I found out.
I read three more editions of the Minneapolis paper, so now I have read it through the end of March. One was a Wednesday edition, as I wanted to read about the Pink concert I had attended. The title was 'Pink swings through St. Paul' and it said there was a wide range of ages at the show. There was an article about Pope Francis saying 'Let us be protectors' and how there was interfaith outreach. The leader of the Orthodox Christian Church and the Chief Rabbi of Rome attended this event. Senator Amy Klobuchar led an inquiry about the proposed airline merger between American Airlines and US Air. The cartoon said 'You shouldn't have, really' as it was about the 10th anniversary of the Iraq War. John Elder Robison, the brother of 'Running With Scissors' author Augusten Burroughs, appeared at the Central Library in Minneapolis and the article also spoke of his being autistic.
The most catchy article of the day would have to be the one about the 'Sherlockian Civil War' related to the Sherlock Holmes/Sir Arthur Conan Doyle estate. It did mention some recent TV show versions of the stories, like 'Elementary' on CBS and 'Sherlock' on the BBC. Carolyn Hax said in her advice column to a young woman that she 'Didn't have to prove herself to anyone'. The judge approved the sale of some lines from the now-defunct Hostess Bakery. But it may be a little while before their products are available again. The special section was about spring cleaning, how to reduce, reuse, recycle and resell your stuff.
In the next one, a Friday, the watchdog group known as the Government Accountability Office said the Postal Service can't cut mail delivery on Saturdays. This is due to take effect in August, and I still see them ending Saturday service to save money. Plenty of articles about the college basketball tournament as expected, also known as 'March Madness'. There were writeups about the movies 'Admission' and 'On The Road'. I have seen the latter and would still like to see the former. Carolyn Hax said in her advice columnist how 'Being right is an addictive substance of its own' in response to the parents being right about their daughter's relationship being a bad idea. Supervalu grocery stores closed their deal to sell four chains, including Jewel-Osco, which I went to often when living in suburban Chicago. But of course Supervalu is keeping Cub Foods here in the Twin Cities. There was a Los Angeles Times interview with Andy Puzder, the CEO of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's. I've eaten at the latter but not the former, but the latter is more common in the Midwest of course. The funny columnist had a simple guide for sampling at the supermarket. Neighbors in St. Paul are opposed to the opening of a sports bar, Buffalo Wild Wings. It is in a former Cheapo Records location, which moved across the street.
The third edition, also a Friday, had an article about the death of Rabbi Herschel Schacter, who liberated Buchenwald at the end of World War II. There was also something about the 40th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, but I noticed some of the paragraphs in it were redundant-a better editor would have helped. The pope washed the feet of 12 young detainees, as it was Holy Week. It was Maundy (or foot-washing) Thursday, but as a joke I liked calling it 'Monday Thursday'. The funny columnist wrote about road projects he'd like to see, such as one of them happening as the man who rips up the road is going to be fired. Also mention of feeling every groove in the road. The sign from the Cottage View Drive-in Theater will be going to Hastings, next to Porky's at the Pioneer Village.
I liked seeing both episodes of 'Big Bang Theory' tonight. The syndicated rerun was when Sheldon wanted his paper read by Steven Hawking, and Howard made him polish belt buckles and put on a French maid outfit. The first-run episode was about various stories. It included Amy Farrah Fowler conning Sheldon into taking care of her when she was ill. Then she enjoyed being spanked for lying about it, as she became healthy but didn't say so for two days. Penny showed the others how to bait a fish hook and clean a fish, as Howard was planning on a fishing trip with his father-in-law.
