Thirteen Things about just making it up.
I just realized I’ve missed a ton of Thursday Thirteens. Oops.
Thursday Thirteen that suck about having ADD:
Where did I leave my keys?
I don’t remember where my wallet is.
Overdue book fines.
To do [...]

So I did my TV show yesterday. I used to drag cameras out to events and film them so I could show those instead of my awkward self, but my self has gotten a lot less awkward in front of the camera and I’ve changed how I do things. The last few shows, I’ve just [...]

Okay, what’s with the obsession with luck lately? For the past couple of weeks, the post that is getting the most hits is an old one about four-leaf clovers. Lots of people are searching for luck on google, which I find just weird.

Okay, I don’t have all the answers, but this is a column I wrote for the Jewish newspaper, for which I did journalisty things like research and interview people, so it is my take on things. The most difficult part of it was keeping my own experiences out of it, so maybe I’ll write [...]

I’m sorry I abandoned you, internet. I had a good reason, though, or seven. One, it was Rosh Hoshanah, which means the kids were home and there was kugel to be made. Then I got sick and spent the actual two days of Rosh Hoshanah sleeping between throwing up. I didn’t even get one picture [...]

Man, summer went fast. When I was a kid, it went on for ever and ever. But I’m old now and zip – all gone. I know I’m supposed to love it when the kids go back, but I don’t so much. I like the freedom of late bedtimes and sleeping in and going off [...]

Here’s the column I posted for a day once before, then realized it hadn’t actually been published and took down. Now it has been published, so I’m putting it back up. I am doing a three-part feature for our local Jewish newspaper on conversion. This first piece is a basic overview. The second one was [...]
