Sanctity of Life

Casuistry

`Episode 9:  two obscure but highly unlikely events occurred back to back on August 26 which caused me to spiral out on the topic of casuistry--the unexplained, but intentional interconnections between people and earth (not actual definition, just a take on it).     I provide a brief update on Olga's ALS progression; discuss two tattoos I've wanted and why; tell the story of my parents meeting and a sliver of the socio-political history of Iran; I tell the story of the night we emigrated to America.   I conclude with a riff on Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and how it too was a meditation on casuistry (and it just so happens that I was in the play in 1991 playing a Il Dottore type character!!)...  Please help save Olga's life by donating to our fund:  www.bit.ly/saveolga [http://www.bit.ly/saveolga]

Weird Al Gives My Wife a Lap Dance!

Episode 8:  A retelling of our trip to see Miss Saigon which led to, you read that right folks, Weird Al Yankovic gettin' down and dirty with my wife.  Also, I discuss how Olga and I met and got hitched.  It's fun.  Not like the other ones...   PLEASE DONATE TO SAVE OLGA'S LIFE:  http://bit.ly/saveolga [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?redir_token=1x9eJgp3upd7yvwL0oiHKJiQKcN8MTU2Njg4MDY3OUAxNTY2Nzk0Mjc5&event=video_description&v=NeZW4cU6wBM&q=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Fsaveolga]  LIKE US ON FACEBOOK http://www.facebook.com/saveolgaslife [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?redir_token=1x9eJgp3upd7yvwL0oiHKJiQKcN8MTU2Njg4MDY3OUAxNTY2Nzk0Mjc5&event=video_description&v=NeZW4cU6wBM&q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fsaveolgaslife]

Death and Reality

Episode 6:  This is the first part of looooooong recording.  I offer updates on how Olga's ALS has progressed; a meditation on the word "death" and how its etymology might provide a clue as to how our ancestors viewed death; a mediation on our capacity to understand life and reality.   The monologue ends abruptly.  The next episode picks up where this one ends.
