  • Gettting So Much Better*

    So after I survived the trials and tribulations of the first portion of the weekend, I had nowhere to go but up. And up it went. I spent Saturday with my friend Jenn. We attempted to meet up with the Run Against Bush event in Union Square, but somehow managed to miss it, as we

  • Another Bit of Geekiness

    I get mocked quite a bit for having a blog. A blog? What the hell’s that? Why would you do that? You mean you have a website? What a dork! Yes, I am a big geek; I’ll admit it. But there’s another bit of geekiness that I haven’t yet shared with you, dear readers. It’s

    It’s always a little odd being a Jew in New York during the Christmas season. Despite all the political correctness in our midst, it really is still Christmas season. No doubt about it. Christmas decorations, Christmas trees, Christmas music . . . But yesterday I saw it. A sign from above that, yes, it is
