Richard Rothman | Musings From A Life Well Lived

I’m launching this blog now that I’m working part-time after being buried in my legal career for over 35 years and battling cancer for the past few. I plan to periodically write short pieces spanning an array of subjects, including:

Lessons learned practicing law, advising clients through difficult straits, and grappling with serious medical problems, as well as dealing with the challenges and enjoying the advantages of aging.

My two cents on politics, news events, and the media.

Profiles of some fascinating people – from prominent business leaders and doctors, to recent immigrants forging their way.

Some reflections on life, history, and the world around us.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. I look forward to your comments, and would appreciate your sharing any posts you find worthy on your social networks.
