Off the Record

     Monday another rep from  The Record called. He asked if I wanted to renew my newspaper subscription.  For the same price I'd been paying, $500+ for 52 weeks, divided in half for 26 weeks.  I have gotten used to being without the paper now, having subscribed for a month to The Times Union, which I hardly read anyway, and their daily crossword is way too simple.  Wanting to avoid the rigamarole of explaining how my subscription ended, I said that the last price I'd been offered was about $366 for 52 issues, so he said he'd offer that price.  I agreed, but I don't really care. My romance with the daily newspaper has ended. I'm over it.
    ***Thinking back, the last rep who called me said he could offer only the 26-week subscription.  Bad times ahead?
