Daniel's Summer Blog

After a seemingly infinite timespan since my last post on this blog, (I have another blog! If you love football or the Carolina Panthers (somehow, the two are not mutually inclusive) you should check it out. It is called The Forward Pass and can found at http://secondandone.blogspot.com/. Then come back here) but I am back to work on the original. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur passed in a flurry of most welcome visitors, I was even privileged to host two of these Ushpizin for Yom Kippur and they made the day much more fun, slightly defeating the purpose. I must say that the Rabbi's Sermon was quite good, very poignant and provocative of self-reflection. A furious game of Apples to Apples (alas, we do not own Joos to Joos yet) was also played to take up some of the time between services, though some elected to nap. The short following week was taken up by Sukkah-building *flexes* during which I got to use various power tools and engineering skills. The first three-day yontif was killer and the second looks to be just as dangerous.

Quick Hits:

Saw some very interesting things in Friendly parking lot.

Got interviewed by N & R for Sukkot.

Discovered that the bathtub regurgitates - nasty.

What in Sam Heck is wrong with the Chargers?

The one-game playoff was the only baseball game I have willfully watched all season and it was a great game (or at least the last four innings were). He did not touch the plate, but I believe they would have won anyway, Hoffman was getting pounded.

Last three-day yontif until Pesach. Chag Sameach!
