For the past week or so I’ve been on a family “vacation”—I put vacation in quotes, because who really goes on vacation anymore? It’s 2017, lazybones—nobody unplugs. I spent a half-hour this morning running around my in-laws’ waterside idyll trying to locate Wi-Fi so I could file this column. When I finally got a strong enough signal to hit send, I celebrated as if I’d landed a lunar module.
My children are both under the age of 5, so there’s not going to be a lot of hammock and cocktail time for their old man, anyway….
