The Good Rabbi's Blog

Recently I've been amazed at how in our society we not only do weird things, but we also feel the need to inform the whole world about it. It started with this retarded guy singing along to his favourite songs.

I've been providing spiritual advice to my friend Peter for thirteen years now. We're about ready for a Bar-Mitzvah, for crying out loud! Not too long ago, he repayed the favour by introducing me to the latest VH-1 "reality" show, But Can They Sing? where different celebrities (actors, really) try to sing various popular songs.

Not that long ago, the girlfriend came out to the left coast, and joined me on a trip up to wine country. These days I go up there about once a month for culinary reviews, etc. One of the best part of having a culinary card is that I get all sorts of invites to free tastings, menu previews, and the like. So, when we were up in Napa, we decided to have a nice night out, and have a good meal at one of Napa's many restaurants.

This is just a quick note to wish you and your loved ones a very happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy the holiday!

Well, it's that time again. That time of year when everyone seems a little more relaxed and good natured. That's right, it's the holidays. That time of year when people get together with friends and family and see off the year by engaging in excessive gluttony, drinking good wines, puffing on a few good cigars, watching a yule log burn on TV, and listening to non-stop christmas music on the radio (which usually starts right around Halloween).
