I’m back. No hangover. Although I’d forgotten that Florida is a lawless state–no closing time for bars, smoke galore. I walked out of the Deuce smelling like a Phillip Morris factory and now my throat is raw. It what happens when you’re out of the practice of inhaling second-hand smoke. I love going to the [...]

I have a choice between blogging and going to the Deuce for a drink. The Deuce wins. Will blog tomorrow pending hangover.

We had a very busy couple of weeks. The weekend before the last was of course Hanukkah, filled with all the joy that is Hanukkah as well as all the smelly-house latke-old-oil fun, too-many-pieces-of-Hanukkah-gelt and it’s-time-for-the-kids-to-go-to-bed fun, spending-way-too-much-on-gifts-fun, and oy-what-a-mess fun. In the course of one weekend, I hosted a lunch for my in-laws for [...]

As some of you may know–I’m pretty sure I’ve blogged about it before–my parents traumatized me at a young age with laundry. Suffice it to say, I don’t do laundry. I just don’t. In New York, I dropped it off to be done at the Laundromat. In Seattle, I simply bought new underwear. In Boston, [...]

As a family, we’re very active in our local synagogue. The kids go to a Jewish preschool, I co-chair a regular kids’ activity there, I’m studying myself for my b’nai mitzvah (better known to you goyim as my bat mitzvah–most kids have their bat or bar mitzvah when they’re thirteen, but I never had one, [...]
