Be Honest
Be honest, even if others are not; even if others will not; even if others cannot.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
In ordinary circumstances, I wouldn’t be caught dead posting this video. Call me a male chauvinist pig. Call me anything you want. It’s just so . . . how do I say it . . . unmanly. However, when you’ve sang this song to your firstborn, in the wee hours of the morning while half …
On fatherhood and dragonflies
My wife woke me up early one morning. She said there are dragonflies flying outside our window. She never noticed them before, she said. I was half-asleep, having downed a couple of beers the night before with my law school blockmates. Beer is supposed to be a no-no for someone who has no more gall …

IF (Rudyard Kipling)
