Two partners bolted for Florida, leaving me with a desk full of paperwork and a phone that rang like Elvis had just published his unlisted number. I planned on coming home early yesterday to work on my Catholic Exchange column and drink a few beers, but a handful of "I have to talk to him *today*" and "I want to meet with him *today*" phone calls later, and I didn't get home until 6:00\. I'll be heading back this morning. The good thing is, my firm operates on an "eat what you kill" system, meaning every dollar I earn is mine. I don't have to kick anything up to senior partners. It's a great system, until I'm the senior partner, then maybe I'll have to change it. I'll rationalize it somehow. Can anyone tell me this: Why do monthly magazines tend to show up the same week? In the past four days, I've received *The Atlantic Monthly*, *Crisis*, and *The American Conservative*. The two weeks before, none of my monthly rags came. I'm not complaining. I kind of like it. Logically, I would prefer the magazines to come at spaced intervals, so I could finish one, just as the other one is arriving. But emotionally, I like the "Christmas morning" effect. Things are going well at *TDE*. Growing steadily, but not as quickly as I'd like nor as quickly as it was. I suspect the leaps-and-bounds growth is over, though I don't understand why. It seems to me that it should increase incrementally. Oh well, it's enjoyable either way. As always, if you could forward the URL to friends and family I appreciate it. Until next week, keep a cold one at your elbow and a warm one in your heart.
