OPPOSING IDEAS: August 10, 2017 “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function,” wrote F. Scott Fitzgerald in a series of articles named “The Crack-up” for Esquire in 1936. “One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to...

VALUES: April 27, 2017 This month has included the passing of my friend Julie who, at 41 years of age, was almost a decade younger than I. Julie had been diagnosed with cancer 38 days before she died. Her funeral, while filled with shock and sorrow, was also filled with joy and peace.
