On the benefits of taking your family to a National Park:

With my family, in nature, I find a special balance
Samuel and I used to walk in the Presidio a couple of days a week after preschool. We’d find trees that had fallen, and we’d sit by their roots. We’d find the best bugs by the roots and the most interesting dirt and small pine cones that we’d bring back home. When the kids were …

Former J. managing editor and "Hardly Strictly Bagels" columnist Andy Altman-Ohr (as of last week residing in Mexico) gears up for his remote copy editing shift this morning by trying his first "Mexican bagel." Purchased in the frozen section at Comercial Mexicana Zihuatanejo, the bagel toasts up nicely and tastes pretty good, he reports, with a decent consistency (a slightly discernible crust and a middle that's a good mix between airy and dense). "El auaettentico sabor" means "the authentic taste," and the "Ajonjoli" variety is not garlic ("ajo" in Spanish is garlic) but sesame seed. Better than Noah's Bagels. He also reports that they do have cream cheese in Zihuatanejo (Philly and other brands in the big, U.S.-style market), but he ate this one with lite butter.

From frequent J. letter writer Stephen A. Silver:

Don’t blame both sides in Charlottesville — or Israel
President Trump’s refusal to unequivocally condemn the neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist and anti-Semitic groups that terrorized Charlottesville, Virginia, is beyond the pale. These hate groups descended en masse on a college town with a Jewish mayor. Ostensibly in protest of the r...
