Excrutiatingly busy/rewarding/fun day yesterday on the Zuiderdam. Seminars starring Bernard Lewis, VDH, Jay, Jonah, John Hillen, John O’Sullivan, Michelle Malkin, Dinesh D’Souza (in same room at same time with Ramesh Ponnuru , so the conspiracy theory that they’re the same person is kaput) — the crowd OD’ed on brilliance. Then a screening of the forthcoming Walden Media film, I Am David, more about which when I return to NYC, but suffice it to say the NR masses loved it. Not too long later, up pool-side there was a smoker. Geez Loueeze, I can’t take much more — life’s not supposed to be this fun! Oh yeah — on top of all this we’re being flooded with orders for the next trip to the British Isles in July ‘05; go to www.nrcruise.com to find out more about that looming humdinger. Later, landlubbers.
