2022 was a rebirth, a return to life. 🧵

There was not a single day in 2021 - not one - where I could have in my wildest dreams imagined it.

I think about that a lot. And I always will. ❤️ 🙌

And a few really great loving sweet fun dogs … kept it going in 2022. 🐶 #Cliff #Biscuit

2022 was a year of amazing art. And artists. @sabet @DrainedEye among them

2022 was a year of travels. Unbelievably privileged to be able to “Be. See. Do” like this.

New Orleans. Barcelona. Forrestburgh. Philadelphia. London. Spring Lake. Woodstock. San Francisco. Las Vegas. San Francisco again. Japan. Rhinebeck. Chicago. Mexico. Storrs. Syracuse.

We hosted a family Thanksgiving at our house in 2022. We fried another Turkey. Safely.

We. Ate. So. Much. Good. Food.

Sometimes we took pictures of it.

And 2022 was a year of getting to take in some great baseball games, @Yankees @TrentonThunder, alongside my son, @jwkasdan (and we did the NBA Draft, Knicks, Giants too!).

And of getting to see my two awesome kids, Jacob and and Lauren both do their thing in college. 😮

2022 was a year of new adventures.

I met @neilhimself & he sent me the most perfect answers to three questions I asked him (article to come!)

I saw @brandicarlile in concert at Woodstock (Bethel Woods) & she sang the perfect version of Woodstock

Saw @respektor at Carnegie! 🎶

2022 was year of writing.

About sports, masculinity, social justice, mental health, law, technology, IP. AI, NFTs, metaverse.

Essays. Articles. Book chapters. Poems. Posts. Tweets.

2022 was a year of speaking. An outpouring of ideas and connections and excitement.

At conferences. At companies. At law schools. At high schools. In Zoom boxes. On podcasts.

2022 was a year of building and of new ventures.

I started a new business. And a new practice area. And a new podcast. And I started advising several other businesses. I taught. I leaned. I joined teams. Good ones:

In the words of Taylor Swift, “We’re happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time…I’m feeling ‘22”:



I am so so grateful for it all.
