i also wanted to mention: 1) today = 7 months. not bad, not bad. 2) rosh hashanah begins tonite. for those of you who don't know, that's the jewish new year. last year right around this time the second grand-scale palestinian uprising began. i'm beginning to think that september is a damn dangerous month. maybe we should just do away with it altogether.

in the spirit of religion, new beginnings, new moons, and other cleansing things, i just wanted to wish everyone a little bit of calm. it's a crazy time, i know. but perspective can work wonders. whether you're a patriot or not, whether you're mourning or mad at the arabs or at our government, i hope you'll take a moment or two to breathe. remember that life exists outside of and beyond this issue. that maybe there isn't only one right answer.

shana tova ou metuka -- a good year and a sweet one. everybody.
