Enjoyed the interview. Always great to hear from him. I had the pleasure of meeting Mark and Mollie at a youth conference this summer
They’re the greatest. Many years ago, I ran into them in DC; as we were chatting, my wife called. Mollie grabbed the phone and chatted with her for about 15 min. By the call’s end, they were best of friends.
I still miss The Hemingways and ‘The Fight of the Week ‘. By the way, Mark was completely right on his column about drivers who back into parking places.
Yes. I was telling my daughter last year that people who back into spaces are bad people. Then a few weeks later we went home for Thanksgiving. Her uncle was there, backed into the driveway. She asked if Uncle Chris is a bad person? “Yes. Yes he is.”
Mark would second that opinion!
I enjoyed your interview! I’ve only read Mark’s work and saw him at a distance on the Hillsdale cruise, so I was glad to hear from him. I can see why you two are friends.
