| Introduction | I am a 79-year-old writer and retired lawyer. I practiced law as a litigator for 37 years in New York and Connecticut. During the 1980's I wrote a regular column on the law and related subjects for the Greenwich News and other papers in Connecticut and Massachusetts. I then wrote a column in the Westport Minuteman and later wrote a humor column for the Connecticut Law Tribune. In 2001, I moved out to Xenia, Ohio. I worked as a caselaw editor for LexisNexis of Miamisburg Ohio until 2005. From 2003 to 2010 I wrote a column for the Xenia Daily Gazette and affiliated newspapers. From 2005 until 2017 I wrote occasional guest columns for the Dayton Daily News. I am the author of a book published on Kindle entitled: "The Case Against God: A Lawyer Examines the Evidence." I created these Blogs for the purpose of posting some of my newspaper columns, essays, political thoughts, religious ideas, and humor. |
