About J.R. Giuliano

I’m JR.

A man who’s lived long enough to know that the small moments usually make the best stories.

Pull up a chair

I never planned to write them down, but here we are. If I’m lucky, I’ll try to write 90 of them before I hit 90.

I’m not promising wisdom. I’m promising honesty… and maybe a laugh or two. Pull up a chair — I’m glad you’re here.

The journey to 90

Then

A life in motion

Work, family, friendships, losses, and the bright surprise of still being curious.

Now

The stories return

Memories become sentences, and sentences become a way to keep the past in conversation.

Next

Ninety before ninety

One story at a time, a lifetime takes shape on the page.

“The older I get, the more I understand that the best stories are not about what happened. They are about what it meant.”
