70 is the new 60. Or maybe the new 80. Honestly, some days it's both. 70-ish: Lessons Learned is my third book β written as a gift to myself for my 70th birthday and, I hope, a gift to anyone who reads it.

Life is full of mistakes. Idiotic ones. Horrifying ones. It took me 70 years, but I've finally figured it out: own it, apologize, try to do better β and laugh. That's basically my whole book. π 70-ish: Lessons Learned: www.amazon.com/70ish-Lesson... #Aging #Wisdom #Humor #LifeAdvice #Books
When my dad died at 62, I was 32 and realized I barely knew him as a person β not just as my father. That realization shaped this book. For my kids. For my grandkids. Get it here: www.amazon.com/70ish-Lesson...

Imagine stepping off a ship at Ellis Island, clutching a numbered card, desperately trying not to falter on the stairs β This is how my grandmother Elisabetta arrived in America. Her story is one you won't forget. β www.amazon.com/Immigrant-Se... #EllisIsland #ItalianAmerican #ImmigrantStory
#genealogy - When my father was almost 13, he stood in the 6th-floor window of their tenement apartment, not far from the Flatiron Building, promising to jump if his mother did not go along with the demands of the police.

We keep acting like this is some extension of the traditional #GOP, albeit in more aggressive form. It is so much more than that. The reason #trump is acting like he is not afraid of the midterms is that he doesn't plan to have free elections -

This is such a good book!
How neat, what an interesting connection! I went out & bought the entire Boardwalk Empire series when I learned a character of US Marshal from Philly was on the show - which would have been based on my great grandfather. #genealogy #prohibition #usmarshal
This is the first of a series of Excerpts from Immigrant Secrets, the story of how I solved the mystery of my lost grandparents. It would make a great holiday gift for someone who is interested in #history or #genealogy or #familyhistory

Waiting for someone to explain why the announcement of a trade relationship that is worse than the one we had a year ago is received as a big success
Such inspiring Christian compassion.
I tell you, one dude who should be fired, but won't, is Brian Kilmeade. Here's how he would solve the homeless problem - "involuntary lethal injection, just kill them." That's not hyperbole, that is a direct quote. @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy
I wrote this 23 years ago for my kids on the first anniversary of 9-11. It's free tomorrow (9-11). Had just started an AIIM International board meeting in Tysons Corner that day. Will never forget the intensity of that blue sky.
