    It’s March again. This time last year I was preparing for hip replacement surgery and looking forward to our son’s wedding in May. You probably know the rest of this story — on March 17 my hip surgery was cancelled, the wedding was postponed, and our world continued its spiral into the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Now, almost a year later […]

    Probably like many of you after these last tumultuous weeks, I am wondering what’s next? How to deal with the deep discouragement?

The story of the early days of Las Vegas has it all, with intriguing and colorful characters as well as details I never knew about the beginnings of this great city. To my surprise, while reading the script I became aware it was a lot like narrating an audiobook, although certainly shorter. Ente […]

    They will try to hold on to the shore.  They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly.
