“Father time is not always a hard parent and, though he tarries for none of his children, he often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him well – making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigor.”
Sheldon Solomon (c1954-Â Â Â Â )
A native of the Bronx, Solomon was educated at Franklin and Marshall University and the University of Kansas and has taught social psychology at Skidmore College since 1980. He is perhaps best known for his development, with others, of Terror Management Theory which concerns the way we deal with death, and is the co-author of The Worm at the Core: On the Role of Death in Life. He is the co-founder of a downtown Saratoga Springs restaurant, Esperanto, and is a self-described “twitching blob of respiring biological protoplasm no more fundamentally significant or enduring than a lizard or a potato.”

Since September of 2010 I have been sending these quotes to Joey each week, but I will be publishing these and other random reflections myself from here on out. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome and appreciated.)  Greg Bover
