Note to Myself # 21

I don't have much trouble

convincing myself of this.

I've always got one or two books

going at a time.

What makes me sad, though,

is that we've lost our Reader-in-Chief.

A President who loved to read

and did it often and could talk with intelligence

about what he'd read, how it fit in with other ideas,

and what was next on his reading agenda.

A President who could write books

without needing a ghost writer.

What a concept!
