Back in the saddle

I’m back. Four months ago I signed off and stepped out to get ready to have baby number two. After a month of patiently waiting for her to arrive, Molly Paige Lindecker was born on May 21. There were some complications, and she spent the first week of her life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Sutter Hospital, but she’s a big, strong girl and has made a complete recovery.

Commentary: Life Long Learning

In the Fall of 2002, I enrolled in a course titled "Greed and Corruption in Corporate America" through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Sonoma State University. We had recently moved to Sonoma County after I retired from practicing Pediatric Dentistry for 40-plus years in the Bay Area. The Enron scandal had just unfolded, and I wanted to better understand how capitalism works in this country and broaden my horizons in general. The course and the OLLi program changed my life. I have not looked back.
