Its 3:30AM and I’m not going to sleep. Its going to be a long night. I’m not feeling so mighty. Before bed, Jacob was so upset. “BEES! There are bees in the room. I’m so itchy” and he swatted at his ear. I find three little strands in his ear. I pick them out. There …

Today the pity party ends
First step of time traveling is research. You don’t want to be unprepared. You don’t want to look like an idiot. You need to be in the know, buttoned-up, ready. I read the newspaper for the FIRST time in 3 weeks. For those who know me well this is unheard of. I look at the …
I’m a maniac.
I truly am Jewish. When you have a bad day you order Chinese food. That’s just what you do. I ordered for one Steve is running. He never stops running. Doing this. Doing that. He’s doing it for us, but it’s also how he copes. He runs. So we don’t order together. We order by …
Not investable. Thats me.
“Not investable.” That’s me. That’s the phrase I’ve heard about 12 times now. “Not investable.” I’ve also learned another phrase “fiduciary responsibility” People keep telling me these words. Over and over. They keep explaining them to me as they believe I don’t understand. At this point, they can even lay claim that I’m not “listening,” …
Bad Day
I have a problem. I have this blog but it lives in your time. Your time is a “ping” in your inbox. It is stamped. Even the time you read it is stamped. It’s sealed. It’s read. But its not like that. It isn’t. Its evolving for me. I keep editing. I keep going back. …
I chose strength. I chose to be one of the chosen people.
What about that Jewish thing? I’m Jewish. I have a religion. I was born into one. I’ve always been proud to be Jewish, but organized religion is complicated for me. My parents are “born again Jews.” That’s the only way I can explain it. They went from reform to modern Orthadox in a blink of …

Rituals
Science ends and then you have ritual. That is what is left. The answer from within. An answer from taking control by finding control in something bigger. It’s an oxymoron. Give control to get control. I’m talking about religion I guess. Aren’t they a variety of rituals? A way of speaking to God, light, an …
Patterns
I like cards. I’m good at cards. My favorite opponent is my father. He’s good (very good) and he never lets me win. He taught me by not teaching me. Never a lesson on strategy. He liked winning. He just kept beating me for years until I could figure out how to win on my …
Time is relative
Time is relative. But Einstein got it wrong. It isn’t relative to time and space. It’s not that connection, it’s relative to people. It’s where I am in time and where you are in yours. How we relate is when we are both in sync, in the same time and sometimes space (I guess Einstein …

Steve and I made private vows for our wedding. We had a traditional Orthadox Jewish wedding so no we didn’t do them out loud, but we made private vows. They were a bit silly, but we stand by them. Steve’s first vow to me (and they are in order of importance) is to always “Call …
