A Break at Last

When you start a new job, you really get no break. Except Jewish "holidays" which, well, lets not go there.. so I finally took a few days off to go to a wedding in Maryland. This is the first of my son's friends to get married, and it was so amazing. We stayed in the Potomac community, and we just loved it and had a great time! A vacation and a simcha

....and now my husband and I are wicked sick with some kind of summer flu...good thing I've earned some sick days. I'm not at work so I have time to blog, and although I don't have a lot of readers I need something to do while recuperating.



I mean how many episodes of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" can you see in one day?



Is that show "good for the Jews" or "bad for the Jews"?



I'm still undecided, but for sure, Noah Feldman's "Orthodox Paradox" was bad, bad, bad for us Modern Orthodoxians!!! I actually wrote to the NY TIMES, and had a chance at being THE female doctor they chose to publish but I was beat out by....a Korean-American convert! Rotten luck, but okay, she deserved her say and I liked her response.
