I loved getting the newspaper as a kid: we had stacks of them, memories of the home I grew up in a hoarder’s paradise with newsprint in boxes, in the washroom, on the couch. I wasn’t really a news junkie - I didn’t understand politics, economics or current events, and I wasn’t really into sports. All those years, I never spent a second in the sports section, the most time I’ve ever spent consuming something about sports probably watching I, Tonya or Serena Williams’ documentary while on a long-haul flight to wherever that was. So I skimmed the front and skipped the back; my favourite was the fluffy bit in the middle, the stuff that’s never in the headlines. The lifestyle section! Fashion, arts, food, money, horoscopes too.
