That was my name for today. This weekend was the last service led by my congregation’s rabbi, who was essentially forced out (although some would say he quit, I don’t believe it). He and the rebbetzin—especially the rebbetzin—are the ones … Continue reading →

So, how many of my readers are well-versed in the art of home buying? There’s a townhouse development going up near me that I’m very interested in, and I’d like to do a lot of research about mortgages and buying … Continue reading →

You know, I’m a pretty good driver most of the time. I stay pretty close to or within the speed limit, don’t generally run red lights or drive dangerously. But I have never, ever, ever been able to talk myself … Continue reading →

A street in the town I was visiting in NJ last week. The thing I love most about the sign is that it isn’t straight. You just can’t make stuff like this up. Nobody would believe you. And while I’ve … Continue reading →
