About 300 yards east of Motor on Pico, I saw a ticket to the festival on the sidewalk. Nobody was around to return it to, so here was my opportunity to go to the show and meet women! But I did not want to reach down and pick up the ticket, fearing it would look undignified. And I did not want to try to use the ticket to get in and find out there was something wrong with it, that somebody had already used it, etc. I didn&#8217;t want to be humiliated.<\/p>\n<p>So I walked home and spent all day editing highlights from the past two Torah Talks and cursing my isolation and wishing I was at the show talking to girls.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday a friend told me, &#8220;It&#8217;s good you weren&#8217;t at the show because it was filled with hot Israeli girls and after seeing them, you would not be satisfied with the girls at shul.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I did the walk for Israel Sunday morning from Rancho Park to the Museum of Tolerance and back.
