A former symphony violinist, I'm finishing my twentieth year of conducting and teaching orchestra.
When my younger child went off to college, five years ago, I returned to an earlier preoccupation - tournament tennis. It's a seven-day-a-week way of life, and has led to a national ranking in 60-and-over singles.
My wife and I travel quite a bit (Australia and Israel this past year). I read baseball history, specializing in Jewish ballplayers.
Soon I'll be retired and a grandpa. Right now, I feel like a teenager.
Picture captions: 1) My brother and father watched me win a trophy, and 2) I played at my son's wedding.
