Remembering the World Trade Center and Window on the World

Remembering the World Trade Center and Window on the World

I wrote this poem many years ago, but it still holds true as I remember how the world changed forever on September 11, 2001, and how much I miss New York City. In Memoriam: Windows on the World I see myself alone, perched high above the city, sipping Chardonnay. Scribbling in my journal, creating affirmations,… [Read More]

Times Union to publish my blog next week!

Times Union to publish my blog next week!

On September 6, I published an essay here entitled “The Authoritarian Madness of Donald Trump.” I’ve since deleted it, because two days ago I heard from Jay Jochnowitz, the Editorial Page Editor at the Albany Times Union, that they’re going to run it sometime next week. I’d nearly given up on their publishing it, which… [Read More]

Madly for Adlai and Jack at the Democratic National Convention in 1956

Safely hunkered down at home during the Covid pandemic, watching the virtual Democratic Convention on CNN this past week, I’ve been thinking about the convention I attended in Chicago in 1956, when Jack Kennedy burst on the scene as a rising star. The Senator from Massachusetts was in a tightly contested race for Vice President…. [Read More]

It’s the end of the world as we know it–so we might as well party

It’s the end of the world as we know it–so we might as well party

Back in the early 1960’s, I never imagined I’d live to turn 30. The threat of nuclear annihilation loomed over the planet. In high school, I’d been subjected to those ridiculous drills when we crouched under our desks, as if that would somehow save us from Communist bombs raining down and incinerating us. In my… [Read More]

Duty to Warn: Why Trump’s insanity threatens us all.

Duty to Warn: Why Trump’s insanity threatens us all.

I wrote this essay in early May, hoping the Albany Times Union would run it on their op ed pages, but they still haven’t gotten around to it, so I’m finally publishing it here. It’s more urgent than ever, but people still don’t seem to understand how drastically ill he is. Duty to Warn: The… [Read More]

Be Here Now–good pandemic advice from Baba Ram Dass

Be Here Now–good pandemic advice from Baba Ram Dass

Be Here Now. The title of Baba Ram Dass’s 1971 book became the catch phrase for millions of westerners seeking enlightenment through eastern spiritual practices, including yoga and meditation. But being in the present moment, letting go of the past and future, has always been challenging to me—until now, in the age of COVID-19. Over… [Read More]
