This will be a weekend full of birthday cheer and various scheduled outdoor and video-based celebrations of our esteemed publisher’s fourth year. Today, a lunch with Uncle Ken and the traditional family Zoom. Tomorrow, playground dates with her two best friends. As a child who loves to be adored, Kina is really relishing the over-the-topness of this particular birthday, and we love to see it.

The kind messages from readers of this publication have been well-received. You should know that our publisher welcomes each and every note—calculating the potential subscription revenue—and insists that I send you all her love and majesty.
