We are all now in New Jersey after an uneventful plane ride. For the first few days of our stay, we are staying with my sister and brother in law and Avery’s cousins. Upon looking at their collection of photos and holiday cards on their refrigerator, one photo stuck out. It was [...]

I have been thinking about a foray into sports promotion for a while now, but had been contemplating the next big idea for sporting events and television. Then today it came to me. The World Dreidel Tour. What could be more exciting than a bunch of jewish folk sitting around spinning dreidels, [...]

Tonight at my sister’s we had a cheese fondue. Now with fondue, there is nothing like a great glass of wine, so Lisa offered up any bottle from her pantry. Colleen and I wandered downstairs to check out what we had to choose from. One glance and Colleen knew what bottle she [...]

We’d like to tell you now about some important safety features of this aircraft. The most important safety feature we have aboard this plane is . . . your [...]

Our pictures have always been great in our opinion, but now that we have seen first hand the quality difference between our camera and Ellen’s new one, we had to upgrade. Granted we have a [...]

We started Avery out (per doctors instructions) on solid foods last week. When I say solid, as all you parents know, it really is not all that solid. It does taste pretty good though. If only “grown-up” food could be so pure and good tasting … it would certainly help me with [...]

Colleen and I have received a number of holiday cards this year. Some Merry Christmas and some Happy New Year. Very seldom, it seems, does a jew send a card for Hanukah because I have not seen too many Happy Hannukah cards in our mailbox, nor did I send any. This years [...]
