Jealous Of Her Dog
I am wary about how emotionally attached she is to her dog. It’s not even her dog. It’s a friend’s dog that she takes home many nights. She’s more attached to this dog than she is to me. I’m losing … Continue reading
Are You On A Spiritual Journey?
I chose to click the Barry Gelman link in my Google News Alert for "rabbi" because I am a masochist. I know that whenever I read this Orthodox rabbi, I will be annoyed by the shallowness of his thought. Here’s … Continue reading

At a succah party tonight, I ran into my yoga teacher. She has three kids who she sends to an Orthodox day school. Her four year old said to me, "You have a beard. You must be a rabbi." I … Continue reading
Luke & Chocolate Moose
My favorite rotweiler/boxer: Chaim Amalek emails: "How many roofies did it take?" Khunrum emails: "What is that, The Hound of the Baskervilles? and what’s the beast doing spreading fleas in the Hovel? I don’t even let dogs in my house … Continue reading
My Storytelling Workshop
My first class was tonight. It exceeded my expectations. My classmates are all women younger than me (except for one older lady). I recognized two of them from yoga. Some of us may be friends for a long time. The … Continue reading
Facebook Saves Time
A lot of people — usually losers — tell me they’re not on Facebook because it is a time-waster. It takes them away from the study of Torah. I find being on Facebook saves me time and allows me to … Continue reading
