I have a Persian friend who tells me to use whitening strips on my teeth to get rid of the yellow stains and other Persians tell me to shave or to lose 10 pounds etc. Is this helpful personal feedback a unique gift of the Persians, of the Jews, of Middle-Easterners? Who do I thank?
* Wayne Gretsky said you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. He also said that he could see the puck going into the goal ahead of time.
* A few years ago, I met a woman online who wanted to see the real me, but I plan to run for political office one day, so I Googled what she wanted and sent her that. She loved it and was most impressed.
* I want a wife like Huma Abedin who will stylishly stand up to the TV cameras and proclaim forgiveness for my sins.
* My apartment is filled with guests (not mine) but it makes me happy. I just love the life going on around me.
* I’m biking 6-12 miles a day on my new stationary bike, burning about 50 calories a mile while watching Netflix. When my knees hurt, I stop and stretch my quads (tight quads pull on the patella) and the pain goes away. I’m sleeping better as a result of this exercise and I’m not doing further damage to my plantar fascitis (largely gone but feet still tender if I walk much). I’m talking fast-release and slow-release protein supplements and notice I rebound better after a hard workout.
* So I met this convert to Orthodox Judaism who doesn’t want to be an actress in case they ask her to do immoral scenes, but what if they shot them in black and white with artistic lighting and the script justified the scenes?
* I went through my whole panoply of facial expressions and Jewish mannerisms tonight to try to convince my friend I understood what we were learning in Talmud class. I failed.
* I have a guest staying with me and she’s got the place looking great. Kitchen is all clean, all the grunge and mold is gone. How do we get her to stay longer? Sweet!
* Just talked with a friend about how pursuing what we want has brought us so much, but doesn’t quite work.
