Dear Diary: Bananas
This was supposed to be an entry about Tyler Cowen’s ideas about entrepreneurial regulators (he doesn’t like them), but circumstances required my presence at a long (and enoyable; not complaining) business dinner, as a result of which I am no longer fit to write about abstractions.
Will ate his first bit of solid food today — mashed banana — and we were all immensely impressed. The first few teaspoonfuls he interrupted with a lot of wishful spoonholding, but he was quick to realize that keeping his hands out of the way guaranteed the passage of sweet fruit into his mouth. Will took to spoon feeding so quickly, in fact, that we wondered if he hadn’t rather sweetly but impatiently been waiting for it for days, if not weeks.
If you know a grandfather as besotted with his grandson’s achievements as I am with my own’s, I hope that you will introduce us to one another.
