                It's a quiet day at the office. I'm the only one here. I am only a few days away from being 70 years old and reflecting much on the journey that brought me to this point. I have been getting into writing again mostly rewriting or editing one of my past novels. I've been dictating it which is much easier than having to laboriously write it out. I've also started transcribing some of my journals with both the ups and downs it represents. There's a moment that I really enjoy and think back very fondly of and then there are all the regrets and mistakes that still haunt me. Why do I let things that have occurred 50 years ago still bother me. Much of it is romantic relationships that could have been better or where I made some stupid blunder. I'm enjoying the process and I feel like I should start writing again. There's only a 50-year gap. I am winding down at my office and looking forward to some form of retirement or at least a transitionary retirement to a less active practice. It looks like I will be closing my office at the end of this year and the workload has dropped as my case load has dropped. I don't believe I could fully continue if I wanted to so it is best to  make the best of it.

camp tac 2

I am writing a bit out of sequence. I went to TAC  at the end of my sophomore year of high school. I believe the camp experiences very much changed me, whether for the good or bad would depend on how one views it. I changed a lot there and what I loved is it allowed me to change. I think prior to that I was very introverted and very unsure of myself. I became much more confident and perhaps much more egotistical. I became much closer with sorge  and osstroff less friendly with kaminski Paul Fisher. I always think of those are some of my better summers and loved my summers at camp. That  and my junior year abroad were to some of my favorite memories. Reading about it brings back very good memories. I wasn't writing that extensively and it was mostly just a paragraph per day. Monday July 1st 1968 -got home 1:00 a.m. so written at 2:00 a.m. decided to tell arrangements for July leaving for camp. So unable to keep up diary. Given synopsis when got back so tell  Then in d...

          We woke up and once again had a very nice buffet breakfast at the hotel. We then checked out of the hotel and drove on the London beltway to Golder's Green. We drove down the street checking out the kosher section of London ,getting a brief glimpse of paths not taken and where Wendy's family may have ended up. However they probably would not be Orthodox, so they may not be correct.            We continue to drive down to Hempstead and I found a parking lot by the Heath. We had gotten used to pay and display but this one was different and you had to do it through the phone and  it took us about a half hour to 45 minutes to figure out how to charge to the parking lot We finally  figured it out and started walking around Hempstead. It was a fun neat little town. We walked around and saw all the old houses. I followed a path more or less through a good part of the town. We ate lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked down...

            Written on November 7th as memory is already fading . We got up in the morning and ate   breakfast at Cafe nero. Just coffee and a pastry. We then met Jeff and went to the subway and took the subway to the stop by the national gallery. We then went to the national gallery and spent several hours going through it. It was great. One of the great art museums. Saw so many paintings that are just so recognizable and that I've seen all my life. Particularly struck by the one of Tarleton which I have seen in several books and over the years. Also love the Van Gogh,. The turners ,the Hogarth's- just so many great paintings.  We then viewed Trafalgar square which was fun and still surprising that after all my trips here I've never seen it. I was surprised there weren't that many pigeons around. Don't know if the time of year or they cleaned it up. Then went back to the hotel and napped.              ...
