י״ט בטבת ה׳תשס״ה (Friday 31 December 2004)

Today is 31 December 2004. On 31 December 2003 I went to work, and left in the mid-afternoon and saw the immediate aftermath of a car accident on my way home, around the corner from my house. Actually, before I got there, the fire engines screamed past me, and Shady Grove Road was totally shut [...]

One long pre-hernia post

י״ט בטבת ה׳תשס״ה (Friday 31 December 2004)

On the night that I went to the mall and got the new set of pots and pans, I was up late, downloading music and sending it to Ben Bresky to use on THE BEAT, his radio show. In the middle of that, my internet went down. The following day, Tuesday, I hung out with [...]

Where I've been

It’s been a while since I’ve written for this forum and this post will serve to explain, in brief outlines, where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing. I do intend to follow it up with much more information, but you all are going to have to hold your damn horses, and you know who [...]

Dinner at Efrat's

ה׳ בטבת ה׳תשס״ה (Friday 17 December 2004)

I was going to Efrat’s apartment for dinner tonight and got walking directions from her, but didn’t know the area, and that finally, finally gave me an excuse to buy the atlas I’ve been eying for weeks. It’s a beauty – street maps of every city, country/region maps, sites and whatnot, all in Hebrew, spiral-bound [...]

archeology again

כ״ז בכסלו ה׳תשס״ה (Friday 10 December 2004)

I went to archeology again today, with Miriam, who got weirdly lost driving us there – wait a second, did I mention previously how awesome archeology is? This time, instead of washing, we sifted, and although we have different philosophies on how best to search for artifacts – one of us is drastically more attentive [...]
