A few thoughts

Looking back, it's comforting to see how successful Hulk Hogan was even though he was seriously balding from the beginning.
There are a lot of ways people can screw you over. For example, the guy who replaced my watch battery could have put in a dud so I'd have to go back in 6 months. On the other hand, people frequently turn out to be upstanding and then some. I think the guy probably gave me a good battery.
As for shmooze or menucha, I think it was more like the shvitz.

Schmooze or menucha?

Was Howl's wedding more like schmooze or menucha?  I am still having trouble separating these two central analytic categories in my mind.  If it was menucha, then how come we didn't write any letters or take naps?  If it was schmooze, then how come we weren't allowed to head down to the waterfront?  It is all so confusing

Did you know?

I sat in the front row at Shaarey Zedek yestarday to celebrate the first day of Rosh Hashanah. Here are a few tidbits you may not know:

1. The conservative Jewish movement is dying. Conservative Judaism will probably not exist in 20 years.
2. D. Wagner no longer wears a hat
3. The cantor's daughter does not like it when her dad grabs her butt on the bimmah
4. D. Wallace is the President of the Synagogue
5. S.P. received an aleyah and read the torah yestarday
6. They brought the bimmah down to be at the same elevation level as the congregation
