The further to the left or the right you move, the more your lens on life distorts.
My father died at 94 last week and we've spent the intervening time in Connecticut with family. For the past 15 years, my dad suffered the ravages of Alzheimer's disease. We lost him in small increments as the years passed.

Over the years, I’ve been an engineer, a manager, a professor, a consultant, an author and an entrapreneur. I was founder of Evannex, an automotive aftermarket products manufacturer and e-commece company that specializes in electric vehicles. I've written a number of best-selling college textbooks and have tried the occasional novel. My latest book, Normalizing Insanity, discusses how fantasy ideas become viral narratives that lead to insane policies. I’ve lived long enough to see the irrationality in extreme positions taken by both ends of the political spectrum and worry that decisions driven by these positions may get us all into very real trouble. I harbor no illusions about influencing decision-making, only making a comment or two that might provoke you to think beyond the prevailing narrative. On a personal level, I’ve been married for over 50 years (to the same person!) and have two terrific sons who live and work in South Florida and Los Angeles. I'm originally from Connecticut, but have lived in SoFla for more than 20 years.
