Mike(my spouse of 40+ years) and I are far more rounded than simply practicing law (he as a commercial litigator in a major NYC lawfirm and I, a Columbia Law School graduate, a single practioner). Mike's top avocational priorities are Jazz (he's somewhat of a "mayvan"), physics (he's obsessed with becoming a "mayan),golf (we golfed all over the world including Australia, New Zealand,Hong Kong,Beijing, Shanhai and our absolute favorite Caesarea, Israel where we have a vacation apartment). From your one blog, I see we agree on politics. We are great supporters of Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East and the most humanitarian country in the world despite totally distorted media coverage. Their doctors were the first into Haiti after their eartquate and the first into Japan, where despite the radiation dangers, they have set up a hospital staffed with 50 Israeli doctors and a similar number of nurses and support staff. Perhaps you can explain why the Presbytarian Church has chosen to divest itself of interests in Israel? It is really a shame. Claire P.S. I must get back to my income tax preparation(particularly the mortage principle reduction matter which I raised at your amortization page), so I may not be able to respond promptly. I'm not much at blogging, so best contact is the email listed in my profile. Very impressive bio.
