For the first time in four and a half years, I don’t have to print 10,000 copies of Coffee News — tonight, and tomorrow, and tomorrow night…
My printing equipment, after 4.3 million copies, has bit the dust. Rather than buy a new machine or continue calling — more and more frequently — for repairs, we’ve contracted with printer to do it.
It costs a little more, but there are several wonderful advantages to this:
• I have a weekend — for the first time in four and a half years
• I won’t have ink on my hands all the time (and sometimes in my eyes), a major source of aggravation
• The paper looks a lot better, which will probably result in more ad sales, which will pay for the extra cost
• I’ll have more time, which I’ll use to blog, and write other things (I thought I would mow the lawn, but am backing down on that one)
• I have a weekend…
