Just as the termites and beetles are consuming the wood on my house, life has been consuming me…or at least my time. I’m frustrated by the fact that work, kids (and their needs), physical therapy for my knee, and a variety of other things are taking up all my time and attention, leaving me little […]

Ever wonder why you keep turning over a new leaf-the same leaf-year after year? Ever wonder why you keep asking for forgiveness-for the same sins-year after year? Ever wonder why your targets never change even though you keep resetting them and trying harder to hit a bull’s eye-the same bull’s eye-year after year?

This past Friday night, Shabbat, I celebrated my 21st wedding anniversary. A lot of people congratulated me. I suppose it represents some sort of feat to stay married that long.

I was leaving an event the other night when I noticed someone with a T-shirt I thought was quite funny. It said: “The best revenge is living long enough to annoy your children.” I laughed at the time. The next day I got on a bus and went to visit my elderly mother. After I

I’ve been in New York City for just about six weeks now. Although I was born in Manhattan, I grew up at the base of the Catskill Mountains. With the exception of this summer, I live in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California. In fact, I’ve lived most of my life in the suburbs or in
