Free speech is hard

I’ve often written of my admiration and respect for Gen Z. All three of my kids are Gen Z and represent so many of the cohort’s best traits. Broadly speaking, this generation of young people cares equally about collaboration and individualism. Their progressive values include equity and sustainability, transparency and…

When there are no words

I am not Jewish, but my wife is. As are my children. Most of my closest friends and colleagues are Jewish, at least those that I have made since moving to New York City. I have struggled for days to come to some kind of understanding about what is happening…

This is life

We dropped our baby at college last week, officially making us empty nesters now. So far, I’m not very happy about it. We’ve already done this twice before, with our older boys. The first time was extremely difficult as well. With our oldest, we made a family trip out of…

What am I working for?

I was recently contacted by a headhunter about a job that seems tailor-made for me. And it got my stomach tied up in knots. I’ve been in my current job — or some version of it — for almost 19 years. What would make me consider leaving? Am I happy…

The kids are alright

The other night, my wife and I were with two of our three kids for dinner. By the end of the evening, both kids had both succumbed to tears. Sure, graduations are exciting times, filled with accolades and congratulations. Pageantry, pomp, and parties. But they are also fraught with anticipation…

The politics of woke

Wokeness is a somewhat abstract collection of beliefs that can be hard to define. But apparently, we know it when we see it. In its current usage, wokeness is trying to describe something about the politics of today’s young, highly educated “new” left, especially on cultural and social issues surrounding…

Breaking News: New York is dead

It’s popular these days to once again proclaim the death of New York City. When I moved to New York in 1994, the city was still hungover from Wall Street’s overdose on junk bonds and leveraged buy-outs in the 1980s. There were also the politicized aftershocks of the Central Park…
