In Impromptus yesterday, I mentioned something about my resolve not to eat lunch at my desk — a resolve formed several years ago and lasting maybe a week, tops. A reader wrote,
“Without lunch at my desk, I would not be able to perform my one-hour of reading NRO. . . . So I would say that I look forward to eating lunch at my desk, and I have NRO to thank!”
But it gets much better, in his P.S.:
“My new son (two weeks old) loves it when I read to him late at night or early in the morning. You should know that I read National Review to him. If I have to be up at all hours, at least I am being educated and entertained page after page, and it calms my son and puts him to sleep. The best of both worlds!”
Almost makes you want to sigh, doesn’t it?
