Twelve Crowns



While we lived in England I read the New York Times online. I was addicted to their daily crossword and a digital subscription was the only way to feed my habit overseas. And, well, it seemed silly to pay for the news and only do the puzzle. Now that we’re stateside again, Words with Friends satisfies my craving to fill grids with words. I still get most of my news online, but lately it’s more likely to come from The Guardian. You can get news that incenses or depresses you just about anywhere. But if you want nice news, The Guardian is the place. Last week I read about a British Nana whose 25-year-old grandson caught her typing “please” and “thank-you” when she Googled something. She thought she was dealing with a person, and was being polite. The grandson posted about his Nan’s Internet manners, and it was retweeted more than 11,000 times. See? Nice news.
