Last month, I started binge-watching an old TV show some might remember called “Person of Interest.”It ran on CBS from 2011 to 2016 and told the ongoing story of an oddball, wealthy computer genius who developed a program that could predict acts of terror or violence and identify the people planning them and their potential victims.

For part of my childhood, my Dad, a New York City corrections officer, worked an around-the-clock shift. That meant some weeks he worked 4 p.m. til midnight, some weeks midnight to 8 a.m. and others 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. He also, for a time, held down a part-time job at a NYC department store, as he did what it took to make ends meet. God bless him. A World War II veteran who didn’t finish high school until getting an equivalency diploma late in life, nobody worked harder. Expect maybe my Mom.
