Leaving Las Vegas

Taking advantage of some free wi-fi at the Las Vegas airport to get online for the first time in three days. By online, I guess I mean using the internet on a computer, because I was on mobile internet all weekend on my blackberry. Turns out the site

My friend Dave down in Atlanta is a hardcore Oakland Raiders fan. Hardcore. So he made a bet a couple weeks ago with a friend who was a Chargers fan. The fan of the losing team had to make a Power Point presentation about the loss with a "go for

I wrote in the past that I was looking for fundraisers that are high ROI for the effort. Bake sales, dinner swaps, candles... I'm kind of over that. I don't want to bring in nickels anymore, I want to bring in millions. Yes, millions. Our syn

Yoshi, the cat we got when the summer between 7th and 8th grade, left my parents house last week. She was 18 and did the elephant thing of going off to die alone. What did she leave behind? Fleas. Blood thirsty fleas. Fleas thirsty for my blood, appa

A lot has been going on and nothing has been going on.The "a lot" has to do with work.  The Jericho summit for One Million Voices was canceled after threats of violence... It is very disheartening and a very hard time to be the only te

Envy or malaise

Saturday, 6 October 2007 4:17 P GMT-06
Usually when I skip services it is for one of three reasons. The first is that there I have been invited to some sort of celebration and by attending, I feel like I'm embracing the oneg (joy) of shabbat.  The second is that I'm out of to

Mazel Tov!

Friday, 5 October 2007 9:56 A GMT-06
A pile of Mazel Tovs to Tamara and Avi.  First of all, there is this business of them getting hitched! Yes! The international romance of the Jewish blogosphere made it to the chuppah. (Maybe I should check the box that says, "willing to rel

I think I've deleted a post along these lines three or four times since Saturday.  You see, on Saturday afternoon I posted a Craigslist ad.  Super basic, honest, kind of funny.  I got responses, but they were kind of lame.  So
