Here’s what you should know about me

I am an octogenarian. I am Jewish. I am from New York. So you bet I’ve got a lot to say.  And I don’t expect you agree with all of it.  Or even most of it.  But I hope it will spark a thought that you might want to add to this conversation.

I have been a writer of one kind or another for most of my life. My career began as a journalist with the Associated Press, interviewing people — some famous, some infamous and most just plain every day folk.  My work life ended a few years ago interviewing medical thought leaders for the pharmaceutical industry.

I’m retired now and living in Bucks County PA, not far from Philadelphia. Life is a lot slower these days and I do miss a lot of things — and that’s what this blog is all about. I have been a close observer of the political scene since my days at the AP and I have strong opinions about the state of things today. I have managed companies with thousands of employees and I have been a keen observer of health care in America. Finally, I am a Jew who takes my religion seriously, so look for some theological posts too.  (For example, check out my post about The Messiah.) 

But here’s the important part:

I write this blog not because I think my words are the end; rather, they are just the beginning. This blog is meant to be a conversation starter, but its value will be in your feedback. So please let me know what you think.  And let’s have an online, nationwide (perhaps even global) discussion.
