Mar 05 2013, 11:34 AM I avoid reading newspapers because most specialize in bad news. Instead, I let wife Margaret break the bad news to me gently.

The owner was quoted as saying something like, “Adding alcohol will enhance the shopping experience when you’re looking for plumbing supplies or straight 2-by-4s.” Islander to read from her book on a WWII love story
