  • The Hanukah Spirit

    I usually only do 1 post a day, but today is the exception. A very funny Hanukah Song from the Suburban Homeboy, Eric Schwartz. Lyrics here. Make sure you have the sound on. If you have trouble getting to the links, it’s possible the flood of traffic crashed their server. Try this one.

  • To my non-secular friends and relatives

    I just spoke with a friend of mind, Misha, also a co-worker. He is a Russian Jew who has been living in the US for a few years. He says in Russia, the big holiday of the year is New Years Eve. In Russia, Santa is replaced with Grandfather Frost. He is an old man…

  • Solving Matt’s Problems – First time

    Last night at 2am, Katie shoved Matt at me, saying, “I need sleep, take him”. So I took him upstairs and walked in a circle with him while he was crying. I tried all my best moves. The pat on the back. The pat on the butt. Singing lots of songs, mixing up the lyrics.…

Daddy: Yes. Let’s go downstairs now. Jared: We go downstairs now? Daddy: Yes, come on let’s go. We are running late.…

(I believe that unless the rest of the country followed suit, and they won’t, then this would give a complete lock on…

  • Between Silk and Cyanide

    Bill Johnston just lent me this book. It’s an autobiography of a cryptographer for the English during World War II. Very well written. I find that an autobiography gets an extra star the same way a singer/songwriter gets bonus points versus singers who don’t write. Ethan whacked his mouth on the coffee table by accident…
