Back to reality.
me: “We are back.” BY: “Welcome home. Does it feel like home still?” me: “Well, in that ‘Oh man, I’m going back to work and school’ kind of way, where everything is just normal now.”

Losing in a theory of games.
Here are some excerpts from an article in Haaretz; it features Professor Robert (Yisroel) Aumann, the recent Israeli-American Nobel Prize winner for his extensive game theory efforts, explaining why he believes Israel may not make it in the long term: “Too many Jews don’t understand why they are here… If we don’t understand why we…

Absolutely cityless in Pocono prettyness.
Just returned from a (very) quiet 3 day trip to the Poconos Mountains and surroundings. Since it’s the opposite of Manhattan, I thought my bogan of a husband might appreciate the country air, and for me the area is a happy childhood memory. So instead of writing 6,000 words, here are 6 photos to relive…

Just like Chris.
Not that any of us had to report to work, but it was Columbus Day today, and we did take advantage. My dad has a small boat he cherishes, and me, Ronen and my brother joined him for a mini fishing expedition (which was more like crabbing expedition in mid-October). Hey, at least we made…

Introduced my Australian husband to the city I ramble on about so much. Mmm… looks like I have to do all the NYC lovin’ in the family. He’s just too Aussie to appreciate. My lady and my ride. Bridging our gaps. The view from out here. Missin’ the twins.

Street corner sets.
“Set! Set! Hey, bro, a set for $30!” Ah, yes. An old school Succot in New York City. I remember being way younger and venturing with my family to Borough Park to pick up a set of lulav, etrog, hadas and arava off a chassid on a Brooklyn street corner for perhaps one of the…

High holiday round-up.
Isn’t it amazing how some people will go to extraordinary lengths to not say some extraordinary things? Maybe that is how I am summing up the last Jewish year. I’m looking forward to a new year of trying to get inside other people’s… shoes. It seems I have assumed that’s one of my stronger traits,…
