Put down your iPhone. Shut off your computer. Read something on printed pages you hold in your hand. Lose yourself in another world and another time. Read The Bible, ancient Greece and the founding of democracy, our country’s founding, The Late Unpleasantness, the California Gold Strike, World Wars I and II, the lives of Richard Nixon, Margaret Thatcher, Pope John Paul II, and Ronald Reagan; read anything that interests you. Including, of course, The Observations.
