This, from Jonah Goldberg’s elegy at his father’s memorial service:
Indeed, it’s one of the things which bothered him so much about overly theoretical writing in general. Often, when I would show him something wonkish I had written, he would say, “tie it to the earth more. It needs ballast. It’s floating away.”
His dad sounds like such a great guy. I hope to be such to my own little boy one day.
