With everything that was going on in the news last week, I thought I'd use my blog to relay an act of kindness that I experienced.  

So much experienced last week. Some truly tragic involving loss.  Revelations about hurt inflicted on others.

I want to share with you two posts my daughter sent me yesterday. They are so pwoerful...    

I admit that I go on Facebook, Twitter, and the Gotham Politics listserve in an effort to stir things up and engender intelligent discourse on topics of the day. However, in my opinion, I have failed as more and more, as the days go by, some of the responses are too much, characterized by extreme self serving smug certitude.

Last weekend we were in DC to visit our granddaughter and her parents. Something special still stirs in me when I first see the Capitol and the city’s skyline.

Nothing much more important these days than to make sure everyone you know is registered to vote in November.   https://www.elections.ny.gov/VotingRegister.html  

  This past weekend, I experienced a first. My first Big 10 Football game.   We were visiting my son for family weekend (how could that have happened already?) and the Maryland campus was ready for football.    

  This is a blog that I have been waiting over a year to write. A little more than a year ago, I decided that it would be best for me to terminate my law partnership, sell the office condominium that my partner and I own, and reset my career path. At that time, I was uncertain as to how that new career path would look.
