On a Gentleman's Newspaper...

One can easily picture a distinguished gentleman in the fifties sitting at his table with a cup of coffee and a paper, one foot resting on the tweed trousers of his favorite suit.

A paper is still a marvelous little rag, but the paper itself is less important than being informed.  If experience is being gentlemanly, one must also not forget the second phrase of my Grandfather's favorite compliment "You are a gentleman and a scholar."

Being a scholar does not necessarily mean toiling through a PhD, although its certainly one route, however it means rather than voicelessly espousing the opinion of news pundits, that you are educated on a topic to a degree where you can comment on it in your own way.

A gentleman may not discuss politics at the dinner table, but that certainly leaves a lot of situations to discuss the news!

May you always have a passionate love for learning.
