The information highway has thrust upon us an onslaught of propoganda.  It used to be that the propoganda was contained by the radio, TV, newspapers or billboards and focused on politics and selling soft drinks.  Now with the advent of social media, we are awash with outrage 24/7.  We are constantly being manipulated to formulate an opinion on everything...and not just a soft malleable position.  It must be a boastful and intractable position.

If you are on Long Island and read the story, it happened Sunday afternoon at the pool at Syosset-Woodbury Park. 44 years old and in his prime, leaving his wife and two children. A tragic ending to the life of a colleague and friend. A smart, generous person who knew how to connect with people; not to mention, a really good lawyer.

Last Friday night the partners of the firm went to Rao's for some special after hours fun.  Why "Where's Waldo"?  Because my 4 law partners are female as is our Office Manager and my life (wife) partner. So see if you can find Waldo in the above picture of my law and life partners. For sure, the staff and patrons at Rao's regarded me as the lucky man I am!Cue "Glory Days" or any other tune which catches my mood!

The Gay Head Lighthouse in Aquinnah on the westernmost tip of Martha’s Vineyard is being moved inland. The historic lighthouse, which has stood on its present spot since 1856, is in danger of falling into the sea as the cliffs to its north and west are eroding.

I won't give my age because that would be indiscreet, 46 (respects to the great Arthur Bach).
