A Week To Remember.
Nov 21st to 27th, 2020. Winter Fair, where 400+ people showed up. I was in charge of pasta. Made two sauces, and they tasted good. I got to use the full size kitchen at the school. Everything was so much hotter! I felt useful. The school is coming alone, albeit all the challenges, albeit the…

How did I do? What did I learn?
It has been a while since I did a presentation. I was rusty. A few things I observed: I did not become aware during the presentation. This has been a goal of mine – to be more aware throughout my day. I failed at this. As I was unaware most of the time, I rushed…

Election 2020
There is one thing that is very clear: I cannot assume all those who voted the other side are idiots, nor that I have to understand who they are. Initial polls are very confusing. BOTH Trump and Biden received a historical amount of votes. Trump got more votes that any other president ever did. More…

What Am I?
“No one is stronger than the person who knows who and what he is.” Rabbi Sacks There are two indicators of one becoming old. First, it was when I could no longer see the digits on my watch clearly without extending my arm completely. The other was when I started to repeatedly re-ponder pointless existential…
