He looked closely at the photograph, Image of his youth, Filled with promise, Overflowing with optimism. Its single dimension reminded him of another self. The man in the photograph was free to hope free to wonder free to grasp looking for the future. He remembered the photographer. Prodding Annoying Motioning Jostling with the hangers on and the wannabes asking him to share his soul whether or not he wanted it. He took a photograph in his mind, Moved to a new decade. He wondered whether the wisdom of age would bring the photograph to life. Did it look at him and laugh?    &n ..read more

Age is just a number. You are only as old as you feel. Youth is wasted on the young. Old age is better than the alternative. I could go on, but you get the picture. We spend a lot of time trying to make old age more palatable; yet, we who make it to old age should be grateful. In fact, everyone on the planet is old. If you die today, you were as old yesterday as you were ever going to get. Death stalks us all. We try to recognize its inevitability every day if we are wise, and use that as an impetus to live each day to the limits of our abilities. But, we tend to waste time on irrelevancies a ..read more

I posted two years ago from my desk in the RV while we were in Orlando for the weekend. My post then: "Computer, check. 28 inch monitor, check. Mechanical keyboard, check. Bluetooth mouse, check. Smart Watch charging, check. Bose Bluetooth Frames charging, check. Inseego 5G WiFi, check. Spouse notebook charging, check. RV law before we go clubbing at Disney Springs, priceless." While my RV Lawyer book will be pretty basic for some, I hope there are some ideas in it that lawyers can use to make their lives better. Any time you can get away from the grind of an office practice is time well spen ..read more

I am doing a Zoom seminar today for the lawyers, clerks, paralegals, and others working at the Florida Agency For Health Care Administration. Being able to practice law wherever I am has been a lifelong pursuit, and I have long attempted to avoid being chained to a desk in an office or home. My law practice involves what is in my head anyway, so finding tech and strategies to utilize my knowledge wherever I happen to be is my Holy Grail. How I do it today is the subject of my new book, RV Lawyer, which can be found on Amazon and other places.          ..read more

  I am a traveler in time, going from place to place, loving from day to day. I stop at various inns, for a drink and a bed. I wonder whether my time will end with a lover of souls, and a woman with the soul of a lover. I stop occasionally, to view the sights and hear the sounds of strange towns. I talk to the people indigenous to the region. They humor me as I pass through their lives of pain and hurt. I cannot cure them, and they will never understand. I am looking for she who knows that my travelling soul longs to stop in a town with a warm hearth, and a bed filled with ..read more

As I have been appointed to the Senior Lawyer Committee of the Florida Bar, I have been conscious of an identity bias against older professionals, and have been thinking about stereotypes and judgments about older Americans, and lawyers in particular. It brought to mind a poem I wrote a few years ago. Subconsciously, I want to avoid the fate of this "Old Man". Are you doing anything about avoiding his fate in your own life? OLD MAN. He pattered slowly to the chair, cloth rubbed raw and chafing, slippers worn and in their place, pipe and ashtray next to the lighter his wife had given him on M ..read more
