A charming interview on NPR’s Morning Edition with Dick Van Dyke.
A hat tip from a friend of mine on Facebook (NS) lead this link to CNN about lawyers who meditate, to balance the work-life stress. The article, by Amanda Enayati, states that US Supreme Court Justice Breyer told Oprah that he wasn’t really a meditator, yet what he described a practice that is pretty much meditation, and honestly, meditation ain’t a bad thing. More lawyers ought to do it to just chill out. I ‘m still working on it myself, though, so… who knows what really works to find balance?
The passing of Bill Gallo, a New York City institution. The Daily News Sports Section won’t be the same without Gallo, his characters (no more new Basement Bertha or Yuchie?), his fondness for lovable losers (well, the Mets were in that category for awhile now), and his drawing “the goat” for playoffs.
A gallery of some of Gallo’s work here at the Daily News website.
Thoughts from Daily News’ Mike Lupica about Gallo; see also NY1’s coverage, including a One On One by Budd Mushkin with Gallo, back in 2006. Gabe Pressman at WNBC also wrote a nice piece about Gallo.
