At the Milan Cathedral there are three inscriptions over the respective doorways. Over the right-hand door there is this motto: “All that pleases is but for a moment.” Over the left-hand door the words are: “All that troubles is but for a moment.” But over the central door there is a simple sentence: “Nothing is important that which is eternal.” There are so many things that come up in the course of the year. What will 2020 hold? More floods, hurricanes, tornados, mass shootings, crippling accidents, or devasting diseases. What troubles are ahead of us? We can also ask, what pleasures are ahead of us in the new year? New jobs, children, grandchildren, wealth, our favorite sports team wins it all, or we get the recognition we think we deserve. What pleasures are ahead of us this year? Read more…

Truck driver Klaus Buegermeister was cruising at about 60 mph on the autobahn in Germany when he was pulled over by a police officer. Why? There was a little Smart Car wedged to the front of his truck – with a terrified driver inside.

The Christmas Tree

While I was getting my “Christmas haircut,” my barber, Lou, shared with me an incident that had happened a few day before. He was cutting the hair of a little boy while the boy’s father was waiting for him. The boy was fascinated by the barbershop’s Christmas tree, which adorned with lights and decorations. He turned to his father and asked, “Daddy, why can’t we have a Christmas tree in our house?” Read more…

In the 2009’s Tyson, a documentary about the life of former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Tyson is remembered for being one of the most feared boxers of all time, not just for his knockout punch—he knocked out 44 of his 50 losing opponents—but also for his anger, his unpredictability, and the impression that he was a powerful man wildly out of control. In 1992, he was convicted of raping Desiree Washington, for which he spent three years prison. In the movie he admits abusing women. In a fight against Evander Holyfield he bit off part of Holyfield’s ear. In the film Tyson admits that he has at times been on the brink of insanity.
The director of the documentary, 64-year-old James Toback, confesses to having something in common with Holyfield. He too has walked the edge. He almost died once from an LSD trip that lasted eight days. Toback says, “[Tyson] turns out to be as complicated and crazy as I am.”
