Just after I returned from vacation, I found myself at the Playboy Mansion.
I know — that sounds redundant.
But I have a perfectly good explanation for going there, so good my wife almost believed it. I went to Playboy for the articles.
The Jewish Journal’s annual Giving issue — which you’re reading — was in the works. The mansion was hosting the 35th annual Merchant of Tennis-Monty Hall Cedars Sinai Medical Center Tennis Tournament. What better opportunity to do just a bit more field research before committing to an editorial topic?
I remember when I used to hate the Jewish Journal. What changed? Rob Eshman was nice to me.
