As a matter of course and before waiting to see how generous the servings were going to be in any restaurant we went to, my father ordered two of everything.
What a wonderful article - beautifully and empathetically written. I love the humanity that comes across in your writing - it has left me with a smile on a grey day at the southern tip of Africa. Thank you for sharing. AND...I love the title . It made me read the article - as I love the "should" be enough ...and I obviously thought you were talking about food.
THANK YOU, Mr Jacobson. Engaging, delightful, "human" and brilliant as ever. Enjoying this over a cup of coffee and a croissant (no double helping) in Buenos Aires, on a rainy, glorious winter day, only a few blocks from ONCE, the oh so charming, Jewish quarter, where bagels abound....
Roger Federer, among others has pointed out that a winning record can be had by taking roughly 55% of points. Anisimova probably lost by only a few percent under the remaining 45%. Called a rout or any such hyperbole, by someone most likely unable to return Anisimova's serve, is an unspeakable crime.
Thank you for this latest reflection. Having enjoyed your work for so many years - and introduced many of my students to its delights - reading today's piece made me wish I were still in the classroom to share it with my seniors.

Is Jacobson still calling the genocide in Gaza a blood libel? I wonder what it feels like being a modern day Holocaust denier..
We should have all been spared the post match, on court, interviews. Excruciating.

Curious to know, when you write '6-0' are you thinking 'six-nil' or 'six-love'?
