On this day in 1966, the Supreme Court ruled in Miranda v. Arizona — and a phrase entered the American vocabulary forever.
You have the right to remain silent.

Ernesto Miranda was a 23-year-old from Phoenix who confessed to kidnapping and assault without ever being told he could have a lawyer present. The Court ruled his confession inadmissible. His name became a legal landmark.

He was retried anyway. Convicted again on other evidence.
He was stabbed to death in a bar fight in 1976. A card game gone wrong.

When Phoenix police arrested a suspect, they read him his Miranda rights.

The rights named after the man who had just been killed.
His suspected killer fled to Mexico and was never brought back.
History is rarely clean. Legacy almost never looks the way you expect it to.

BURY ME THERE.

I’ve been to epic sporting events and concerts. Not sure I’ll ever experience this energy again.

Unless someone loans me money for game 6 if it gets there.

NY or nowhere, let’s go Knicks!

Ten years ago today, 49 people were killed at Pulse nightclub in Orlando.

They were dancing. It was a Saturday night. Some of them had texted their parents earlier that day. Some had just fallen in love. Some were celebrating.

The families left behind have spent a decade learning how to carry something that was never supposed to be theirs to carry.
Grief after sudden, violent loss is its own kind of thing.

There's no warning. No preparation. No goodbye. Just a before, and an after.

Today we remember the 49. And we sit with what it means to hold the people in your life a little tighter — because none of us ever really knows.

I’ve never felt so much electricity in my life. Talk about collective energy there’s nothing better than MSG.

It was a wildly emotional day. I had a wonderful breakfast meeting with someone and then a meeting at the 9/11 memorial which was an experience in itself. For the first time I saw my father’s forensic file. To see his name jotted down on forms, represented by victim identification numbers in a room that stores what was found that day was heavy.

I’m not entirely sure why I wanted to do it. Something about my journey has been facing every angle and sitting there with a forensic director made it raw. I wouldn’t call it healing but a dictation of my journey sitting through that.

Then the weight of all that was washed away experiencing the roller coaster of a ride with 19,000 New Yorkers. A strange reflection of what 9/11 was. A coming together of people surfing a wave that ebbs and flows. Highs and lows.

Throw in emotions of grief thus far just made me emotional throughout.

The power of sports is bringing people together finding a common goal amongst the vast differences between the lines. And, for a 48 minute game no one cares about the differences.

Except, Wemby. He can eat a fat one while on the court.

Job ain’t done and regardless what happens it’s beautiful.

NY or Nowhere.

44 years ago today, E.T. hit theaters.

And a generation of kids learned what grief felt like watching a little boy say goodbye to someone he loved who couldn't stay.

That movie didn't lie to you. It didn't say everything works out. It said: sometimes love means letting go. Sometimes the goodbye is real. And it still hurts, even when it's the right thing.

What gets me is Elliott's face. Not when E.T. dies. When he has to watch him leave.

That's the one that stays with you.

These are some of my favorite photos of my dad and I. And words from my book *You’re Not Dead Yet* I wrote about what losing my father on September 11th taught me about living.

If any of this hit you or if you’ve been a fan of the show — you can get Chapter 1 for free and/or pre-order it.

www.deadtalks.net/book

Pre-orders are open now. And if you’re moved to grab one early it really helps more than you know.

Pre-orders are how a book finds its footing in the world. They tell bookstores, publishers, and readers that this story matters.

This is what spiritually is to me.

Spirituality gets a strange connotation. It’s not a tie-dye shirt. To me, it’s everything around us, in us and beyond us. And, our intuition or awareness is the conduit to it all. It’s not in a box.

Ray Charles died on this day in 2004.

He was blind from the age of seven. By then, he'd already watched his little brother drown — and couldn't save him.

He carried that for 77 years.

And he turned it into "Georgia." Into "Hit the Road Jack." Into music that made you feel like someone finally understood the thing you couldn't say out loud.

That's what art made from grief can do. It doesn't erase the pain. It just makes you feel less alone in it.

Rest easy, Ray.
