What's Weingarten Writing?

The latest piece from WaPo’s Gene Weingarten reads more like a cry for help than an actual column. Gene professes his love for a “Drinking Duck“, a toy that bobs up and down into a bowl of water over and over and over again. This is not just your average toy. It requires real care and attention to keep it operational. Gene talks about his duties of refilling the water bowl for the toy. He even checked in on the bird each morning and each evening.

As time went on, Gene laments that the duck started to fall apart.
