There is so much that I could say about Alex, but simply stated, Alex is eloquent, articulate, poetic, intelligent, extremely wise, and a wonderful friend.

I don't know any other poet, or any other lawyer, who can intelligently debate and discuss neurophysiology and cognitive science. This is just a tiny example of Alex's incisive and broad-ranging intellect. In college, he was a great companion on many a wild and weird intellectual journey. Now, many years later, I can't think of a single conversation I've had with him in which I did not learn something, or find a new way to look at something, even if I've gone over the same ground many times before. Don't pick an argument with him unless you're prepared to have your preconceived notions about the universe turned into very colorful confetti.
