My buddy is dead: Ed Story!

Why I went back to work
This week, I accepted a board position and, more significantly, a very intense advisory role in a Nasdaq-listed company called Renovaro (Renb), which is acquiring a medical AI company called GEDi Cube (subject to shareholders’ approval). I will write more about why this combination is so strategic. For the last ten years, I have been … Continue reading
Redefining Age
Until recently, age was determined by the date you were born, called chronological age. If you were born in 1950 and it is now 2023, you are 73 years old. It was not always this way; before the calendar came about some 5,000 years ago, no one knew your exact age. Even now, there are … Continue reading

We appear to be in a conspiracy to pretend that we will live forever, even in the face of all the evidence to the contrary. … Continue reading

Putin is trying to hold power after his failed attempt to conquer Ukraine. Trump knows he will be found guilty on one or … Continue reading
Can we thank Pat Boone for the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict
The film, Exodus,staring Paul Newman and Eva Marie Saint, was release in 1960. None of the key people were Jewish (Newman’s father was Jewish) by the way with the exception of the themes composer, Ernest Gold. I was 15 at the time and remember it well.

I am Age Fluid
Age is just a number We all have a chronological age based on the day we were born. It tells us how long we have been alive, which is essential information.
