HMO = Hellacious Medical Offerings

Posted on June 4, 2008 by howdoyoujew

Punchline looking for a joke

Posted on May 20, 2008 by howdoyoujew

Yeah, yeah, so I’m a parent now, so that’s supposed to make me all “mature” and “grown up” and blahblahblah?! HA! We took our daughter to the doctor yesterday, as she’s had a rash on her torso for several days … Continue reading →

Interesting stuff I’ve read in the last couple of days

Posted on January 9, 2008 by howdoyoujew

1. A terrific profile of Melinda Gates from CNNMoney.com/Fortune. My favorite snarky moment: She made valedictorian and got into Notre Dame. But Notre Dame did not get her. When she and her dad visited, she recalls, officials at the university … Continue reading →

Adjusting

Posted on November 29, 2007 by howdoyoujew

It feels like Friday

Posted on November 21, 2007 by howdoyoujew

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 →

Two things that could change the world

Posted on November 20, 2007 by howdoyoujew

1. I’m on Rabbi David Wolpe‘s weekly d’var Torah email list. He can say more with fewer words than almost anyone I’ve ever met. Anyway, a few days ago I received a special message from him: Below is a mitzvah … Continue reading →
