At 73, I know I am on a slippery slope that’s getting slipperier.

Sam is five years old, but in luggage years, that is 77.

The reward for not giving up is a satisfied mind. 

When you walk out of the house and are lucky enough to return safely, remember how blessed you are to have someone there to say, “I love you.”

I’m not a hypochondriac — I don’t make up an illness — but once I have something, I blow it up into IMAX size.

Does my being sober make me smarter than Nick? Probably not. Where we differ is that I gave up trying to control my disease. Sometimes, the wealthiest, smartest, and most successful have the hardest time.

They say that when a couple marries under the chuppah, God stands with them. I knew for sure that if there was ever a wedding that God attended, this surely was it.

Now, in my seventh decade, I’ve experienced a drastic change — both physically and mentally.

As we get older, what do we do to replace lap sitting or chasing her around the couch like I did early in the marriage?

Nobody knows what their third act will bring.  What we can do is try to stay vital and enjoy our lives. Spend your children’s money as freely as they love spending yours.
