The other day, I had Chinese for lunch. My fortune read, “You will overcome many obstacles.” Somebody was definitely trying to tell me something there. That’s right up with the fortune I received the first week of a previous job: “You can always find a way out.”

On the street yesterday, I heard a guy hawking one of those free news dailies say as part of his pitch, “Don’t be ashamed to read a free newspaper!”

We’re not. We’d be ashamed to read a bad newspaper.
