Welcome to Reflections Across the Spectrum: Stories and reflections on an unpredictable array of topics for readers from Baby Boomers to Gen Z, as well as the just plain curious in between.

The fifty posts since the launch of Reflections in 2016 have, if nothing else, certainly ranged across a broad, perhaps absurd, spectrum. In addition to writing about my experience battling cancer–for the most part happily, and “life lessons” learned over the course of my fifty-year legal career, I’ve shared my thoughts on such random topics as living with pain, hitchhiking across America,  my love of the NYC subways,  books that have moved me, the travails of learning to play jazz piano as an older adult, the wonders of Maine’s loons and mergansers, and the ups and downs of aging, including the challenges we lucky ones face as we transition from all-consuming careers to our next, perhaps final chapter.

My blog posts for the past few years have been sparse, as my writing has been devoted to the work on my recently-published book: Finding Ruby—The Bright and Dark Sides of a Family’s Fervent Idealism. The book is available on Amazon. If you do happen to read it, and if you think it’s worthwhile, please tell a friend and consider putting a comment on Amazon and/or Goodreads.

And, now that the book is done, I plan to turn back to my blog. As for what topics will come next, who knows?

Many thanks, and I hope you enjoy the blog. Rich
