Is it too late to talk about Purim? Because of camera issues, I didn’t have my pictures till now but I don’t want to let it go by without at least a quick recap. (Usually when I preface an email with “in short”, I proceed to write a 75 page thesis but this will probably [...]

More of “What the *$@# does that word say?”
Inspired by Pant Steak… Who saw “Hisardut (Survivor)” last night? Great way to practice your Hebrew with the subtitles. Until I saw “גו גתר”. Here was me sounding it out in the second before the audio caught up. “Gav? Gav ga-TAHR?” Oh GEEZ… This is starting to require its own blog category…

It was estimated that employers lost over one BILLION dollars last year in lost productivity during the two-and-a-half week period of March Madness. For my [...]
