“I need something to eat!!!!!”- Is probably the last phrase anyone is likely to utter these days. At least, If they’ve just been through the last bout of holidays. Not to, Gd forbid, reduce the holidays to an eating marathon! Still, if we think that, in general, we eat way too much on a…

  Are you soaked and wet?  Are you roaming around in the dark?  Is your roof still on? I know this sounds like a question I should be asking you after a rainy Succahs night!  But, I’m asking it to the people who were not in the hurricane zones.   The way life often works…

  You’ve got to be impressed with this religion. In preparation for the fast day, we have a fast day! One would have thought that one was enough in such a short time period.   The 10 days of repentance start and end with a fast day! So maybe there’s a way to look at…

Do we really wonder why there is more anxiety these days than ever before?!   Imagine when many of us were kids. What made us nuts? I can’t even remember! Maybe a lot of what we heard about, or our history. But in general I think just upcoming tests or friends leaving us out. Not…

  We are very into abbreviations. Especially, now that we communicate almost more by text than talk. People just don’t talk much anymore. They won’t say I’m a Physician’s Assistant or a Physical Therapist. They’ll say I’m a PA or a PT.   But think back-Did anyone ever used to say I’m a BM. Well,…

    What’s your instrument of choice?   So, you wind up with some unused melon or some dinner left overs……where does it go?   Some people refuse to save! If it doesn’t get eaten, it’s in the trash right away.  While others, will store it somewhere in the fridge till the days of Armageddon…

  You don’t want to get up real early, especially if you were up late the night before. You don’t want to welcome the dawn before the sun does, do you!. But give someone the right incentive and up they go! I am amazed with a new experience that I see many joining. Ok, maybe…

  Here’s the big G question! — Which is more difficult, finding the Guy or the Gown? Now for some that might sound like a ridiculous question. Yet, not to sound like I categorize people, but those people who think it’s a ridiculous question are usually the ones who only have to decide which tie…

  You can’t drive anywhere!! And your car’s perfectly fine. You can’t use your phone, even though it’s fully charged. You can’t cook or go to a restaurant.  What are you supposed to do, starve?!  You can’t watch TV, shop, or spend money! Hooray??!!   Does that sound stifling?   Yet —You can relax, notice…
