P.S. A Column On Things

By PAUL E. SCHINDLER JR. I am from Portland, Oregon, Beaumont ’66, Benson High ’70, MIT ’74. Some things are impossible to know, but it is impossible to know these things.

Gratitude 2

January 18, 2026

I literally thank God every day for these gifts:

  • *Another beautiful day in paradise
  • *Wisdom
  • *The strength to do good work
  • *The mental and physical health of my loved ones and the world
  • *My parents and Vicki’s for creating us (and specifically to Vicki’s dad for his generosity) and to God and Guru that we were available and ready that night.
  • *The lights of my life, my wife, my daughters and my grandchildren.
  • *My parents, friends, mentors and teachers
  • *All the women I have ever loved, since I all of them rolled into one.
  • *All the men who came before me, for not breaking the women and for not keeping them.
