Still catching up from October
My outing to etrace's Dead gig on 10/28 was fun. I was surprised to find that the room was more like a medium-sized coffeehouse than anything; the building is an enormous pole barn, but most of it is the brewery of course, so the tap room in front is just a small space with a bar, a dozen tables, and a couple of couches. I sat at the bar and drank their ( Read more... ) -
Lunchtime post: Weekend recap
Whew. Another whirlwind Boston weekend.
Oh, before I forget (since it already feels like weeks ago): I posted my July 4th notes ( link to LJ version) on the date more appropriate, so as to try and get back in the habit of posting things more promptly instead of huge catch-up entries every several weeks.
So, ( Boston weekend, the third in four weeks ) -
Art, or, some things I learned last night on W. 21st St.

My tremontstshul sendoff
This past Shabbat morning, August 6th, tremontstshul had a farewell kiddush in my honor.
I got to stand up and say a few words (it was Parshat Dvarim, get it??) -- although I wasn't sure if I felt more like the Israelites about to cross the Jordan (which, as I pointed out, in Italian is il Giordano), or like Moshe admonishing the Israelites by way of a ( Read more... ) -
Maine vacation
Just to make sure it doesn't go unrecorded:
Sometime in April, the irrepressible jessruth said "I'm going to plan a solo getaway vacation for this summer." Me: "Let me know if you decide you want company..." Her: "Really? I didn't think you'd have time with everything going on this summer!" So... within a week or so, she had picked out the Cliff House in ( Read more... ) -
Shameless self-promotion
Well, first, some shameless promotion of others: two cool things I'm going to. This Thursday night, ( Jews in Science Fiction, brought to you by The Future Rabbi Josh Breindel ) -
Meme of random narcissism
Here's a meme that was going around again recently.- Five random idiosyncratic things about me you probably don't know:
- I have to have at least two kinds of shampoo and three kinds of conditioner in my shower at all times. (Not always the same two or three kinds, although I certainly go through phases. But I have to have an active rotation.)
