Last night started one of my family’s favorite holidays, Purim (“Lots”). It also helped set my life’s compass. (I’ll explain this later.)

A Special Gift
A Heinz related memory. 57 years ago, my grandmother (my father’s mom) bought me a beautiful set of tfilin (phylacteries).

Exceptional Executive. Exceptional Human Being.
I’m sure many of you are too young to recall the first time Ford Motor Company wasn’t managed by a Ford. It was back in 1980, when Henry the Deuce (Henry Ford II) didn’t name his brother to head the company, but a complete stranger (ok, not a complete stranger, but not a Ford either), Philip Caldwell, to lead the company. And, Philip did Ford proud.

APP?
We spoke the other day (OK, I’m sure some of you consider that too many other days) about COVID-19 and the vaccine situation.

You know those jokes about lawyers?
Tom, a 39 year old partner at a posh law firm, hurries across the street, has a coronary, and dies. He gets to the Pearly Gates and is complaining that he was way too young to die. Peter takes one look at him and says, “All I did was look at your billing. I figured with all those hours, you must have been 100!”
