The Election

The following is an excerpt from my upcoming book about my year in prison at Ft. Dix. Enjoy. ———— “Hallelujah!” “Trump!” “Confirmed!!” “God is good!!!” The messages poured into my phone. Trump won.

What’s Next

Hello my friends. It’s been a year. I’m very happy to be back, writing to you again in real time after my release from prison (pictured above). We’re going to be talking about relationships today. But first, a little housekeeping. For those of you curious about my time in prison, we had a nearly 2

Anti-Federalism

I assumed they had to have it. The prison library was stacked with political and legal tomes.

Caught In Her Claws

had a client a few years back who wasn’t one of my better ones. Don’t get me wrong, he was a good guy and I liked him. But he’d disappear for long stretches of time. When we had calls, he’d forget them, or come in late. From a professional standpoint it was frustrating. I will

Unconditional Love

I saw a woman on the beach this weekend with a horribly disfigured face. I’m ashamed to admit I was curious why. Was it some genetic issue? Of course, you don’t stare, so I only gave discreet, peripheral glances. What was interesting about this woman though was she was clearly in a relationship. The man
