On zebra cakes and bringing your whole self to work

Do you remember Zebra Cakes? These were treasured children’s snacks in the 1990s along with Gushers and Dunkaroos. I hope a number of readers are feeling a wave of nostalgia right now. “Each of us is in the world for no very long time, and within the few years of his life has to acquire whatever he is to know of this strange planet and its place in the universe. To ignore our opportunities for knowledge, imperfect as they are, is like going to the theatre and not listening to the play. The world is full of things that are tragic or comic, heroic or bizarre or surprising, and those who fail to be interested in the spectacle that it offers are forgoing one of the privileges that life has to offer.”
