Yeshiva University
I can see this place from the end of my block but I rarely have a reason to come this far uptown. I was on 181 this morning dropping off an Amazon return and snapped this photo while waiting on the bus. I wonder if there are any kosher or Israeli restaurants around here?

The Attempted Burglar is Back in the Building
The girl that lives next door sent me panicked messages saying she saw the person that tried to break into her apartment again, out in the hallway on our floor. I don’t understand how this person is back here again. How do you attempt to break into someone’s apartment, get caught, and then show up…

The Would-be Burglar Was Arrested
Over the past few days, we’ve seen the person that attempted to break into our apartment and our neighbor’s apartment wandering around the building in the stairwells and out on the streets.

I figured it must have been the people downstairs that are renovating the apartment below ours. When I walked…

Women’s Half Marathon
Because my wife kicks ass, she went out to Central Park on Sunday and ran a half-marathon and then came home and told me about it like it was no big deal. This is the awesome medal she got: She’s working on building herself up to doing a full marathon. I’m sure she’ll have a…

Israel Trip: Traveling to Jerusalem
When I was offered the opportunity to go on this trip to Israel, I was really psyched about it. I mean, it’s not every day that you get the chance to travel to one of the most important places in the world. Israel, and Jerusalem specifically, has been the direction of prayer for Jews for…

Rude and Loud Guy On the Train
Not only was this guy listening to music on his phone without headphones, he was making his junk everyone’s business. And he was flamboyant.
