Dare To Be 100: Too Many Steps
As a kid I was always very active kicking, throwing, chasing, being chased, catching schussing. etc. but I never really ran for running's sake. Until my wonderful dad died when I was 39. I crashed, clinically depressed , but as a physician informed about the fact that exercise was clearly the best treatment for depression, so I took up running. The Boston Marathon was the only open running event of international consequence. It was legendary, and back then it was public with no qualifications. So I was enough of a Walter Mitty to reach for it. I entered. I started to run slowly around my neighborhood in Ked sneakers and c...

Managing My Depression In The Midst Of Trauma
I have suffered from insidious depression for at least 39 of my nearly 54 years of living. At this point, I have lived with depression long enough to know that I am extremely sensitive to human suffering and trauma. Like many people around the world I have been deeply affected by last week's senseless and horrific murders of seven men. Let me quickly state that I was not privileged to know these men and recognize that my grief is nothing compared to that experienced by their families. That said last week's constant drum beat of murder mixed with the hate spewed across social media has left me beaten, bereft, and broken. I...

There is something about music that seems to bring us closer to each other and help us come together as a commu...
