Denny has a wonderful post up about Max Beerbohm and GK Chesterton. The part that made a tiger of jealousy rise within me, though, was where Denny says he was "perusing the G.K. Chesterton folders in the British Museum a couple of years ago". This is a secret wish of mine, and Denny's already done it! Lucky guy. Go read his post, it's wonderful.
Thanks so much for the kind words about the blog post.
However, regarding your "tiger" (one I've no doubt is actually quite convivial and well-mannered), I do wonder about the propriety of the phrase "already done it" as applying to a fellow who just celebrated his 56th birthday last week. After all, for a man of my advanced years, whatever isn't "already done", is quite likely never to be!
Always great to hear from you and to let you know again what a terrific and valuable service you and your colleagues are doing with the ACS Blog. Keep the Faith.
