10 Years? Felt like 10 minutes!
Just had a fabulous dinner (at Bahama Breeze, in case you’re keeping track; excellent jerk-painted tilapia and terrific chocolate desserts) with Cousins Marc & Lynn and their boys who, conveniently enough for us this weekend, live in Orlando. Last time … Continue reading

Adjusting
Last time we traveled to the east coast with Hadarya, in March, we kept her pretty much on west coast time, which prevented shifting back when we went home. At that time, naps weren’t as important, and she was sleeping … Continue reading

Movie review: 28 Weeks Later
Very briefly, because I don’t want to spend too much time thinking about this movie: Scariest movie I’ve seen in years, possibly ever. Not only in the jump-out-of-your-seat scary, although it has enough of those moments, but more of the … Continue reading

Last week I participated in an IT Careers Panel organized by our colleagues across town at the UCSD Career Services Center. There were three other panelists (all UCSD alums), and a whopping TWO students attended. So, yeah, it wasn’t a … Continue reading

Times when I don’t feel like being a grown-up
Having to make a personal family budget, and dealing with rising costs and expenses on the one hand and stagnant income on the other, is not fun. I know I am more fortunate and well-off than a mind-numbing portion of … Continue reading

On giving back, giving thanks, and not giving up
We got up bright and early this morning to walk 5K in downtown San Diego to raise money for Jewish Family Service and the San Diego Food Bank. Felt good. Ran into many people we know, and saw the power … Continue reading

It feels like Friday
Which means that since it got dark a few hours ago, I’ve felt like it’s Shabbat and I shouldn’t blog until after… but it’s not Shabbat, it’s Erev Thanksgiving, and there’s nothing to prevent me from writing, using the computer, … Continue reading

Ignorance fuels violence
Yes, I know this hasn’t gotten physically violent yet, but it easily could. When is this going to stop? A British schoolteacher has been arrested in Sudan accused of insulting Islam’s Prophet, after she allowed her pupils to name a … Continue reading →
