New York writer and Paris correspondent, Adam Gopnik, tells a tale of a missing iPhone, one I can identify with. Not with the iPhone, I don’t have one, but with our human natures that seem to have a need to have someone to blame and so often are wrong.

Thanks for passing along that wonderful piece that not only ended better than I might have thought, but also provided a genuine occasion for serious reflection.
I’ve just put in a request for Gopnik’s ‘Paris to the Moon’ at my local library. The title is so familiar to me that I thought I must surely own it or have read it. Or maybe one that I had every intention of reading and forgot. We’ll see. He sounds like one of those valuable writers who condense a million of our own half-thoughts into a few words we all wish we could assemble ourselves.
