2/ 2) The audience is not mic'd, so they sound unresponsive. They weren't. 3) Long intros. I take the stage at 5:45. 4) After my speech, a Q&A starts at 47:10. It takes the camera a while to find us. Not required viewing, but thanks to those who do. xo

1/ For those who missed the live Zoom feed of my recent talk at @YaleMed about life with my late wife Linda, "The Long Goodbye: Navigating the Caregiver's Journey" is now available on-line at this link. Four disclaimers: 1) Focus occasionally goes soft... medicine.yale.edu/education/ethi…

It didn’t take a forensics expert to realize he was across the street. Later, I asked myself the cop-show question: “Can you zoom in there?” Not enough for facial recognition but there we were, kettle of fish and all (that’s me, with the green…

As Erin set about trying to crack shells, I retreated to Twitter to avoid the carnage, and Robert Weide’s post about being outside in a Paris cafe popped up, with a photo.

@BobWeide posted a thread about our slightly-more-than-zero-chance meeting in Paris May 22. Here’s the view from the other side of the street. It was our last night in Paris and my wife, Erin, and I had perambulated for an hour or so, sidewalk-shopping for our final dinner…
