Exhibit Two Gets Aished! (Exhibit Two at Aish HaTorah in Jerusalem earlier this month) A bit of explanation is in order. Aish = Aish HaTorah. [1] Aish HaTorah is an apolitical network of Jewish educational centers in 35 branches on five continents. [2] Aish is all about Jewish education and kiruv… drawing Jews closer to [...]

They say that opposites attract. That presumes that the attraction is mutual, I suppose. (The gun totin’ Southern Redneck Good Ole Girl) I’m not sure that is always, or even often, the case. (Hitler Youth – more my son’s type than mine, really… but still…) Take the example some of the kinds of women to whom [...]

Do you ever get the impression that there are people out there who just can’t wait for the world to go to hell in a handcart? Whether it is a complete socio-economic meltdown, a total financial collapse, a global political conflagration or a good old-fashioned 3rd World War… do you get the feeling that there [...]

I have been accused by more than one alleged friend of having an ‘Unhealthy Interest’ in zombies. Well, honestly. These days, who doesn’t? I mean, really. (♥ I’m a zombie girl… in a zombie world ♥) Yes, but [1]… these so-called friends are quick to point out that, unlike yours truly, most other (i.e. normal) [...]

I’ve not yet had the opportunity to see Ken Burns’ masterful work, The Civil War. But I did see this one clip. [1] A week before the Battle of Bull Run, Sullivan Ballou, a Major in the 2nd Rhode Island Volunteers, wrote home to his wife, Sarah, in Smithfield. The letter was written from Washington, D.C. [...]

Today is Star Wars Day, for obvious reasons. [1] Here are a couple of Star Wars related photos that have tickled me over the past year or so. For me, Imperial Stormtroopers are a constant source of fun! I love nerd humour! Yoda is also good for a few laughs. We’ve all seen Star Wars [...]

Years ago, my beloved friend, CW, and I were sitting down to dinner. We’d met not long before and were still very much in the ‘getting to know each other’ phase of our relationship. Things were going very well. We were both quite fond of one another. Conversation was light, entertaining and quite enjoyable. We [...]

A very dear friend of mine, LFD, likes sushi. LFD and I quite often work in the same courthouse. There is a wonderful sushi restaurant around the corner from said courthouse. Put the three above statements together and it was not long before LFD and I decided that steps of some sort ought to be [...]

Ever been within earshot of elderly people when they are in mid-rant? I don’t know what happens to older people when they reach a certain point in their lives. Perhaps old age loosens inhibitions, kind of like drugs or alcohol but without the knowledge that tomorrow, everything will be back to normal and you’ll be [...]
