Luke Ford writes: A man committed suicide by a gun shot to his head around 1 p.m. Friday at the corner of Pickford Street and Sherbourne Drive in Pico-Robertson, CA, 90035. I saw a crumpled body wrapped in a white sheet next to a black BMW. Blood leaked through the sheet. I heard the man was from Beverly Hills. No idea yet why he chose this location to kill himself. I arrived at the scene at 2:05 p.m.

Given who I was at each point of my life, I could not have chosen differently. The good thing about this approach is that there are no regrets. There’s only acceptance. I’ve learned from many things I’ve done and I won’t repeat them.”
What Does Concentration Look Like?
Luke Ford writes: Most people think they need to tense to concentrate. You can look at them and see the furrows on their brow and the tightness around their eyes and the hunching of their shoulders and you think they’re trying really hard.
