• “Oh, were you busy?”

    “Studying is suspended until after you pay attention to me.”

  • The Encyclopaedia Judaica Dustica – Physical Copy

    Last week, I had to do some research in a group for the last assignment for a course I’m taking this semester called “Jesus the Jew.” We spent the semester studying Jesus in the Jewish context he was born in, including society, government, religion, and politics. We also looked at the gospel narratives and examined…

  • Late Last Night, after the Snow Turned to Rain

  • End of the Semester

    Every time the end of the semester starts coming up, I say to myself that I’m going to try to get ahead of things and not get bogged down with work during the last week or two and every time I seem to fail. I have two language finals next week; one on Monday and…

  • My dog Gummy Bear in a Jacket and Boots

    Well, actually he’s my wife’s dog. When he goes out wearing these boots, everyone stops to comment, especially the ladies. Unfortunately, they don’t always keep his feet warm.

I always preferred X-Men comics and I just recently decided to actually have a look at Doctor Who. Maybe it’ll be cool. I haven’t decided yet. The breakfast…

  • Happy Chanukah!

    This is a bit delayed, it being the fourth night of Chanukah, but better late than never! I saw this poster hanging in the lobby of my mother’s apartment building when we went to visit her for Thanksgiving. I wasn’t aware there were enough Jewish tenants living there for the management to recognize the holiday.…

  • Veteran’s Day Dinner 2013

    Ever since I enlisted in the Army and businesses started offering Veterans Day promotions, I’ve tried to make it to a participating business each year. I’m not one to pass up free food, especially when it’s from a place like Olive Garden. I’m just being practical. Besides, I’m a veteran, and in a way, I…
