I Have Some Resentment!
A few days ago, I hiked the Yetman trail. It is 11 miles out and back. I hike about 5 to 6 miles of the trail. The trailhead starts on the far west side of Tucson at the end of Grant Road. It is one of my favorite hikes. The terrain is moderate and follows…

Getting My Needs Met!
I was having a conversation with a really good friend. We walk and we talk. Something we do often. We talk about issues significant to our lives. We’re about the same age. So we find ourselves talking about the same issues. Where we are at this point in our lives. Our significant relationships. What’s important…

I Was Being Stupid and Selfish!
One of our family vacations was to Granada. A sleepy, off-the-beaten-path Caribbean Island. Myself, my wife, our daughter, and our niece packed our bags for a 10-day stay. We rented an amazing bungalow in the hills above the capital city of St. Georges. We landed on a truly tropical island. Bananas, breadfruit, mangoes and every…

I’m A Very Lucky Dad
One of the most powerful enduring memories I have of my daughter is when her birth mother placed her in my arms. New Jersey adoption law requires that a birth mother directly place her child in the arms of the adoptive parents under the supervision of the attending medical staff. This exchange took place just…

I Thought I Was Being Hijacked!

How to create a deeper connection with consumers through universally shared archetypes, values, and symbols”. You can view the entire article here. https://flip.it/4d9MWZ. I usually skim most articles. This one grabbed my…

Lying Face Down In The Dirt
My partner and I decided to spend the winter in Tucson. The Sonoran Desert is spectacular. It is the only place in the world where the Saguaro cactus grows. We are both avid bikers and hikers. Tucson has unlimited hiking opportunities and the longest paved bike path in the US. We have a comfortable home…

Why I decide to become a Bar Mitzvah at 69?
The first question that might come mind when reading the title of this blog is, why become a Bar Mitzvah at 69? Why initiate myself into a life I am already living? That doesn’t make sense. I actually became a Bar Mitzvah when I was 13. The traditional age when a Jewish boy or girl…

My Intimate Connection with Psychedelic Medicine
My sophomore year in high school was a time of spiritual awakening. I don’t actually remember that moment when I realized that there was more to life, my life then could be seen through the eyes of a 15 year old teenager. I just had a growing awareness that there more something more to my…

Saving the World with a Bagel & Cup of Coffee
One of my Monday morning rituals involves stopping at a very specific bagel store on the way home from my girlfriend’s house. I have been there often enough for the counter help to know my name and what I order. On this particular Monday the man ahead of me was placing a large order. Two…
