Current Events

Day before yesterday, thanks to the initiative and editorial prowess of Professor Andrew Lo, I had accepted for publication, in the highly regarded Journal of Investment Management, a modest compilation that I had written originally in 2008 for my colleagues at Harris & Harris Group, "Some Lessons Learned in 42 Years of Business." 

Yesterday morning, our daughter, Elizabeth, arrived on a redeye from the West Coast for a visit through tomorrow.

Yesterday afternoon, two months ahead of deadline, thanks to the Herculean efforts of my colleagues, we submitted  to Cold Spring Harbor Press the manuscript of my book, Incurable: A Life After Diagnosis.

Today, I will go to MSK to have blood drawn.

Friday morning, I will be readmitted to MSK for a procedure in which interventional radiologists are to insert a permanent drain in my body to attempt to reduce the fluid level in my peritoneal cavity caused by ascites.

Saturday morning, if all goes well, I will return home.

Happy Fourth of July Weekend!
