I think 2020 is going to be remembered as a pivotal year in American and World history. It will be remembered as the year of the pandemic where over 100,000 Americans died as a result of the virus. And it will also be remembered for the death of George Floyd murdered by a Minneapolis police…
Grandkids came over for dinner tonight and it got me to thinking about my grandparents. I only knew three of them. On my Dads side I really did grow up with Grandpa Jake and Grandma Pauline. They were both immigrants and very loving people. My Grandma Pauline passed away when I was about 15. We…
Yesterday was Fathers Day. What a great day. Had the family over for brunch and I celebrated almost one year since my mitral valve surgery. It was the anniversary of discovering my problem when my Fathers Day present, last year, an Apple Watch that reads EKGs said I was in Afib. That started the process…
It was exactly one year ago I found one that I had ruptured my mitral valve. The repair would require open heart surgery. So I am visiting a recent part of my life. It has been quite the year. Can’t I say I am completely recovered? No, but I am 90% recovered. Just today I…

So I think it’s forty years ago maybe to the day that I was admitted o the New York State Bar and became a licensed lawyer. Where has the time gone. So much water under the bridge. I was a kid the day I became a lawyer, 26 years old. I hadn’t even met Sharon…
Back in February 2005 I jumped off the merry go round. For eight weeks I stopped my life, my normal daily routine and flew three thousand miles out to Loma Linda California to be treated for prostate cancer. I left my family and had 44 daily proton radiation treatments to cure my cancer. Fifteen years…
I am a product of the 60’s. I was born in 1953. I was 10 when John Kennedy was assassinated. I remember that day very well. I was 15 years old in 1968 when Martin Luther King Jr. was killed in April of that year. And I remember where I was when I heard the…
