Yesterday was a joyous day for me, above all because it marked another anniversary of my blessed marriage to my wonderful wife. The surprisingly favorable election results also sweetened things very nicely for us.

As I recall, something involving salt and seawater is the recommended gift for 19th anniversaries, so it’s especially fitting that, in my lavish generosity, I have invited my wife to join me on the National Review post-election Caribbean cruise that launches this coming Sunday. We look forward to celebrating with all the cruisers and to exploring the challenges that lie ahead.
