He just sent out a Pesach email to the shul, including a bunch of links to resources that people had asked for, and the email included this:
Lists of medications and toiletries: http://crcweb.org/Passover 2009/Medicines and Cosmetics.pdf. Please note that while the lists are valuable, there are certain halakhic opinions expressed in this document with which I [...]

“U.S. to woo investors with toxic asset plan.” That’s the Reuters headline that just appeared at the top of my Gmail. Now there’s a headline I can get behind. I love being wooed with toxic assets. Makes me swoon every time. Now pardon me whilst I resume writing about the political and economic effects of [...]
The other day I saw a job posting for a “two year old teacher.” Heheh. Then I saw one for a “fictional writer.” Now THAT would be cool. I’d love to be a fictional writer, though after the high-maintenance, super-demanding behavior of two of my daughters last night, perhaps at the moment I’d prefer “fictional [...]

I got one of these. This is because my mother-in-law a) loves me, and b) comes from a family with a tradition of giving Purim gifts. Heehee. That’s right, Purim gifts. And in case that link stops working for some reason, here’s a picture of it (not the one she got me, but one from [...]

Or maybe I don’t [...]
Know what happens when you make cheese sauce? I’ll tell you what happens when you make cheese sauce. You follow the recipe, to the extent possible when the recipe is on the computer screen in the other room (no, I did not feel like printing it), and you put in precisely the amount of salt [...]
Tricks the Boy can do, as of this writing (tricks I happen to be thinking of at the moment of this writing, that is):
Clapping hands. He’s been doing this forever, since maybe 4 or 5 months old? No one knows why. It’s just something to do, I think. Anyway, he claps hands, and starting from [...]
It’s amazing to me how little I want to do anything involving a classroom. How when I see teaching positions posted, all I can think about doing is ducking for cover. During those moments when I pause to consider for half a second, all I have to do is remember three little words, and off [...]
This is no fair. I’ve sort of always harbored a life ambition to work at the zoo. And the Bronx Zoo keeps posting positions, but I am qualified for exactly NONE of them. Today it’s “Manager, Operating Budgets.” I mean, does it really matter whether or not I even have any idea what that means? [...]
