The Wall Street Journal’s obituary writer reflects. I have known this since I was 13 or so. It has made everything easy for me. Hopefully easier for anyone who knows me as well. Our lives are stories, some short, some long, some twisted, some boring. But when you realize how short life really is, and…
My Friend Mike –
This can fall under pickleball, this could fall under circumstance, it could fall under surgery chaos theory. but none of those do it justice. I’ll go with divine intervention. The religious kind.

Poetry
I’ve always wondered how a poem starts, and then finishes in such a way that it gets considered to be a good poem. I’m not sure I even like poetry, it seems full of itself, contrite and arrogant all at once. Occasionally, I listen to poetry, however, it is listening to a good speaker, roll…
72 Hours back in New England –
The region reigns supreme, too bad its cold and windy. There are some who will tell you “it makes them stronger, more resilient”, I on the other hand, think that’s just a little rationalization.
