When David Hays was sixty-six and joined a synagogue for the first time in over fifty years, he decided to study Hebrew and become a bar mitzvah. And so this father of two grown children and coauthor of the bestselling My Old Man and the Sea borrowed his grandson's Hebrew primer and joined a class of twelve-year-olds. Thus was launched a wondrous journey of faith and community. In Today I Am a Boy, Hays's new world begins to intersect with his own history as he grapples with his mother's death and watches his grandchildren awaken to life's wonders. At a time when most of us begin to slow down, the ardent boy in this eminent man has been reawakened. Today I Am a Boy is a brave, clear-eyed, and joyous examination of life.

David Hays, elected to the Theater Hall of Fame in 2014, created an exciting and successful career designing scenery and lighting for plays and musicals on Broadway, in London, and in Japan. Told with passion and wit, this book takes readers behind the scenes of the theater world to show how a stage designer collaborates with directors and producers to create great works of theater and dance. A designer who collaborated with the great directors of his time—Arthur Penn, Garson Kanin, Tyrone Guthrie, Elia Kazan, Jose Quintero, and Joe Layton—shares anecdotes that integrate technical insight with life lessons. He designed sets for the Metropolitan Opera, for Lincoln Center, for Martha Graham, and thirty ballets for George Balanchine. This colorful account of theater life is for scholars, practitioners, and theatregoers interested in how it all works.Publication of this book is funded by the Beatrice Fox Auerbach Foundation Fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.

2025, The Final Drive is a metaphor from my football playing and coaching days. It is an attempt to emphasize the importance of the last chance, time is ticking, or now is the time to go! As you read through this book you will see we have a real opportunity in front of us. In 2025 the current tax cuts that were passed in 2017 expire and we at a minimum return to the rates before or rates go much higher. In this book I will discuss the Big Three retirement risks and how to deal with them. Getting out of the way of higher taxes is No 1. Avoiding retiring into a bad market is No. 2. And, pulling it together, dealing with the biggest risk of all, longevity risk, is No. 3. So, take your time, soak in the information you're about to read, and then act!

Today, there certainly are some people who still embrace the traditional retirement view. Once they put in their thirty-five years with the company and get the gold watch, they want to do a little more than play golf and chill out. They have reached the finish line, and they’re done. There’s nothing wrong with that mind-set, but we’ve found over the years that our clients who “retire to” rather than “retire from” tend to find more fulfillment in their golden years.
