The Good Rabbi's Blog

Given that it’s December, and that nothing ever gets done in the government, especially around this time of year, I decided to take a little time off from attending meetings, and working as a professional Powerpoint analyst (which is a fancy way of saying that I look at Powerpoint presentations all day). During this time, I decided that there was only one thing to do: get the f**k out of town.

So, at this point, I’m on a free-wheeling spiritual advice tour, that has taken me to Austin, Texas, and will take me to the triangle area of North Carolina to check in on a certain disgracefully-aging gentleman, and one other location that is somewhat of a mystery at this point. My plan is to bring my computer with me, and as such to place postings on my blog with updates of my travels. I guess you could say that it’s sort of like Uncle Traveling Matt from Fraggle Rock.

As I write this, I am currently on a plane back from Austin, Texas, where I dropped in on the Cohen kids, and their erstwhile parents for a visit. I always enjoy hanging out with them, and not just because they’ll be family in a matter of months (I already see them that way, even if I haven’t gotten married as of yet). They are genuinely good people that always make me realise that there is more to life than Powerpoint presentations. The travails of one of the kids (the other one hasn’t been born yet) have always interested me, because she’s quite the charmer. She was somewhat suspicious of me in the beginning (who wouldn’t be?), but over time she seems to have realised that even she needs a Rabbi, and well, I’m not going away anytime soon.

Check out her latest goings-on, and some particularly poignant commentary from her parents over at her blog (link is above and in the links section to the right of this post).
