It was the first Sunday I didn’t have my favourite newspaper to read. The Calgary Herald had decided to stop publishing the Sunday edition starting August 5.
Out of habit, I woke up and opened my front door to pick the paper, but there was no paper. I was disappointed because it was my daily ritual to pick up the paper every morning and have my first cup of tea while reading it. Now I have to drink my cup of tea without the paper.
As a staunch newspaperman, I even buy newspapers when I am traveling or on vacation. It’s a habit that I have formed and cannot get rid of it so easily. I have read English newspapers in countries from Singapore to Sydney to quench my thirst for news and information.
