I really enjoy myself, it’s a privilege to work here. But I’m 71 and that’s a big number.” .... He said his primary goal is to spend more time with his wife and his son. Aronson said he may consider private judging or sitting on assignment. He added that he hopes Gov. Gavin Newsom appoints someone to his seat soon.
