About this blog: I was a "corporate brat" growing up and lived in different parts of the country, ending in Houston, Texas for high school. After attending college at UC Davis, and getting an MBA at Harvard, I embarked on a marketing career, mainly in the Bay Area with different companies. My former wife went back to medical school after we had been married a few years, and we moved into married student housing at Stanford, had our two now adult children while she was a medical student, and moved into Palo Alto when she started her Residency. Been here ever since. As my kids were going through the Palo Alto schools, I was actively involved in their activities, most notably head umpire for Palo Alto Little League and 9 years as a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, among other activities. My kids both are grown, my son teaches 5th grade locally, and my daughter, fluent in Mandarin, is working in China. I sold the business I owned and ran for 8 years in 2012, worked on the Obama campaign, and am consulting for non-profit organizations, which gives me a nice, flexible schedule. Lots of stamps in my passport, and for fun, I like live performances &emdash; theater and music - and of course the Giants!

Irresponsible Israel
Uploaded: Mar 14, 2010
This has nothing to do with being Jewish or Muslim. It has to do with sovereign states acting responsibly.
The State of Israel is a bully. It treats the Palestinians like dogs, and pretend to be on the defense when there is retaliation.
Provocative acts such as adding more housing in territory that is acknowledged as part of a Palestinian State is something that would be rejected in this country by a Planning Commission or local court, no need to take it to a national or international level.
Of course the United States should stand by the country of Israel. That is not the same as standing by the country of Israel's policies and practices that are not leading to progress with the people of Palestine. VP Biden and Secretary of State Clinton did the right thing this past week by publicly making it known to the Israeli leadership that there is a distinction between our country's support of Israel and the policies it pursues.
Democracy.
What is it worth to you?
