Today at the Birch Street Nursing Home, Mrs. Lieberman was tickled when I used the judge's gavel she gave me to call the poker game to order. Each of the patients wanted a chance to bang the gavel against the poker table. No one enjoyed it more than Mr. Volkov, who said it reminded him of his youth in the Soviet Union when he spent some time in a courtroom. Mrs. Henley was surprised, asking him what he'd been arrested for. Mr. Volkov laughed and said he wasn't a defendant, but was having a summer fling with a judge.
