Yes --- us paper readers are probably behind the curve. So what? Some of us still enjoy a cup of coffee and a paper to fumble around with. And, believe it or not, I, too, consider myself more informed than your average online reader. Plus, it gives some of us a better chance to understand the work of George Will and his op ed buddies----I'll admit, I've taken time to break down some of his work word by word in an attempt to understand exactly what he's saying. Results count.

As one of only a few daily paper subscribers in my office, I find myself much more informed about what is going on in the world, especially local news, than those who get their information strictly from online sources. I don't mind that I'm the last to know what's "hot" in the blogosphere.

There are plenty of ways to improve yourself or your life that we might have overlooked. How do you plan on making the most of 2009? You can e-mail us about it at: 50ways@usnews.com
