Why We Love Wednesdays

As we mourn the (professional) departure of one legendary political journalist today, we thought it may be a good time to highlight another renowned Boy on the Bus who has moved on to greener (and tastier) pastures.

Does any other reporter have a better beat than that of one R.W. "Johnny" Apple Jr?

For decades a reporter and editor at the NYT, Apple is now enjoying his retirement years by travelling the country and world with his wife, Betsey, sampling the sort of cuisine not often found at the Hotel Ft. Des Moines or Wayfarer. And, best of all for Apple, he gets paid by the Times to do it.

His distinctly Apple'ian prose hasn't changed, only now he is devoting his literary gifts to shrimp'n'grits instead of pols'n'polls.

Or, in today's paper, the state of ice cream in Texas.

Now aren't you glad we brought up ice cream on a day like today?
