2 Free Papers is 1 Too Many Free Papers

OK, so every morning when I get to the train, there is the Metro lady and the Boston Now lady. I've been wracked with guilt for months as I take the Metro and lower my eyes in shame when I pass by the Boston Now lady.

Today, was different. I took a Boston Now (and a Metro). The only redeeming thing about this paper (today at least) was the front page story about how the MBTA stinks. On the cover, was a tease that read "QUEEN'S PHOTOS Beauty keeps crown"...eager to read about Queen Elizabeth's controversial photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz, I turned to page 22, only to find an article about Miss NJ Amy Polumbo and the photos of her acting in an "un-ladylike" manner.

Very tricky Boston Now. I don't like to be tricked by free newspapers (no matter how many sudoku puzzles you tempt me with). Especially before I've had my morning coffee. I don't think I'll be feeling so guilty the next time I shun your paper, tricky Boston Now lady.

Groundhog is a dirty liar

Frank L. Parker (whoever he is) couldn't have said it better (I'm actually quoting him directly in the title here)...in yesterday's Metro Mr. Parker riled against the groundhog...wasn't Spring supposed to come early? Where the h-e-double hockey sticks is it already! I am in total agreement. Get out your slow cookers, it's time for some groundhog stew.
