By the Time You Read This, OJ might be a Free Man

July 19, 2017

With all the forest fires raging in California, and all the ongoing political dissension over Obamacare, Trump Jr., Putin and all things Russia, to say nothing of Hillary’s past still making the news in her present, we get a small respite in the shape of one O.J. Simpson, who may take the edge off of the really important news for a little while at least. There may be more than one person who really knows if O.J. was guilty of murdering[…]

Dying and all that goes with it

June 8, 2017

Death is often a confusing or too-delicate a topic for many, especially at the time it happens to someone in one’s circle of friends or acquaintances. What to say, what to do, what not to say or do. I believe the old standard that we hear on practically every TV show of any kind — “I’m sorry for your loss,” — is always okay; but if you’re closer to the person, personalizing it a little, such as “I’m very sorry for[…]

Why do people choose to visit you when you’re at your worst?

June 1, 2017

Sometimes we wonder why people choose the worst possible time to visit us, as in when we’re looking and feeling our worst. Well, a short, logical answer is that they may believe this is our last illness and they want to make sure they get to see us and share a moment together before we pass on to the Great Beyond. That, of course, may or may not be the actual case, as many people[…]

Practicing Love without a License

May 25, 2017

The medical profession does not believe there is a cure for cancer. The alternative medical community believes — and even knows — there is. And maybe it has something to do with a different kind of caring, and a lot of love. There is “magic” in the simple things of life, and that includes when practicing medicine. We know that doctors don’t — and can’t — give any guarantees, and sometimes they even give you[…]

Life is precious; Death is inevitable

May 18, 2017

No matter how serious the subject, I believe it’s always a good idea to interject a note of humor somewhere into the subject. Hardly anything — maybe nothing — is more serious than death. So on that note, consider this: Everyone must leave this world through the simple mechanism of death — unless, of course, they have another escape plan! Mankind has probably been searching for that alternate escape plan for many moons, and so[…]

One visitor’s view of the hospital/rehabilitation system

May 11, 2017

I’m here in New York, where the daily news is more gruesome than that in Las Vegas. But no matter how gruesome any city’s news may be, only that which affects us in some way — directly or indirectly — stays with us at the end of the day. When one is very likely in one’s last illness, one tends to not be all that interested in what is happening on the streets of New[…]

Giving some United Airlines’ agents their due

May 3, 2017

Maybe the Dr. Dao United Airlines passenger issue is now a thing of the past. They made their settlement, and part of that settlement was for Dr. Dao (and I imagine his family) to not speak of the details of that settlement in public. Such settlements usually include the “silence” clause, as it were, just as did the settlement O’Reilly made with those five women. We can all easily imagine how everyone involved with United’s[…]

Hopefully the last sexual harassment column I’ll have to write — this year

April 26, 2017

Bill O’Reilly is gone. Just as many others in his shoes before him have been disgraced over sexual issues and cried “foul,” so too is Bill claiming the so-called real truth is yet to come out. However, while others may have tried desperately to fade into the background and hope for us all to have very short memories, Bill seems to want to keep the issue afloat until he can present a side of it[…]

United Airlines really made a mess of things this time: Are “the friendly skies” gone forever?

April 19, 2017

Last week I was drawn to the story about Dr. David Dao, a passenger being dragged off a United Airlines plane for refusing to give up his seat. Boy, was that ever the worst move United could have made! I guess the bottom line here is that violence is not the way to go. I can’t even imagine the line of thinking that allowed anyone on the payroll of United Airlines, or anyone acting[…]

Regarding Dr. Dao and UA: Whatever happened to common sense, human dignity, and doing things the right way?

April 17, 2017

First, before we discuss anything “shady” or criminal that Dr. Dao might have done in his past — or even just yesterday — let me attempt to sum up why that doesn’t matter and why he is in the news. All airlines apparently overbook their passengers for their own financial reasons, hedging their bets that at least one, two, or three passengers or so may not show up for take-off and they won’t be left[…]
