To the very special reader who takes the newspaper from my driveway ...Middle East

To whoever is taking the Sunday newspaper from my driveway about once a month, we need to talk.

I am home with a frightful flu, and it was raining today, so I dragged my weak self out of my new comfy bed, threw an old rain coat over my robe and trekked across the wet front lawn to retrieve my paper from the driveway. Only it was not there, again.

I would never want to deprive anyone of the joy of reading a print newspaper, but here’s the problem: For 16 years, I have been clipping my Sunday columns. It’s a writer’s thing. I am rather proud of my collection, and it upsets me to miss a week.

So let’s make a deal. Keep the paper, but please clip my column, wrap it in something safe, like the front page of the paper, and leave it in my driveway. You obviously know where it is.

I will read the rest of my news online once a month. Unless, of course, you are using the newspaper for something other than reading it. If you are, perhaps lining a cat box or a birdcage, I ask that you clip my column first, or at the very least, have it facing up, so the animal life can enjoy it. I’m always seeking to expand my readership.

You may know that I am a “write at night and sleep in” kind of person. So sometimes it is late afternoon when I am taking in the paper. Perhaps you are someone who disagrees with my lifestyle and would like to trick me into getting up earlier. If so, you win. Next week, I will set my alarm early enough to retrieve my paper in the morning hours.

At the very least, I will retrieve my newspaper-wrapped column. If clipping the column is a problem, just tear out the whole page, but please be careful not to destroy the Successful Aging column by Helene Dennis that appears on the same page. I am a big fan of her work.

Thank you for your cooperation. I am happy to make the acquaintance of another newspaper aficionado, even under these circumstances.
