    "Every Dog is a Rescue Dog" My latest piece in about our dog George.

    A dog can mitigate sorrow & inject joy. George did that. He walked us. He comforted us. He gave us a common topic of concern, laughter, & speculation. This morning, he was on his way back to the farm he'd escaped from. A car hit him. Goodbye, George. We loved you so, so very much

    Social media is attention alcohol. It has some beneficial qualities, but it's not naturally wholesome. Many ppl use it often and love it and are basically okay. But a lot of people abuse it and develop unhealthy compulsions with it. Also, it's functionally a depressant.

    It is with immense sadness that we let you know of the passing of our founder and north star, George Wein. We have all lost a giant champion of jazz, art, philanthropy, and equality. There will never be another like him. Rest easy, George.
