And so far, let me just say that it's very much like '07, except for maybe the weather which, so far, is on the uptick, but there's a lot of year left.
I like the arbitrariness of January 1. There's really no rhyme nor reason why this day should ...

* a sweet Passover
The 8-day Jewish Biblical Festival of Pesach (PEH-sahkh, PAY-sahkh) begins on the 15th day of the month of Nissan (that's the Babylonian 'Nissan', not the Japanese 'Nissan'), which this year will be at sunset today on the civil calendar.

Combining elements of Halloween and St. Patrick's Day, intertwined with the celebration of the story of an all powerful Persian King, a beautiful Jewish Queen, a loyal "uncle", and a dastardly villain who gets foiled by his own evil plans and we have ...

If it weren't for the empty leash sitting on the car seat next to me, I might be able to talk myself into believing that she was still here.
Tippy, named for the white tip on her tail, came into our lives in the spring of 1993, via the Humane Society ...

* KHAHG sah-MEHY-ahkh = A Joyous Holiday
** KHAH-nik-uh, KHAH-noo-kah = Rededication
This year, the 8-day rabbinic Jewish Festival of Chanukah ends two days before Christmas, at sundown on Saturday, December 23. But, despite this coincidence and the misperception that Chanukah is a Jew's Christmas, it isn't.

The American pilgrims, who originated the Thanksgiving holiday, were deeply religious people. When they were ...

Here's some more mission creep from the public schools.
I have a pretty radical idea. It's crazy, but it just might work.
How about maybe taking a job that allows you to be home when your kids get home?
I know, I know. It's crazy.
Meanwhile, enrollment in private schools (at least ...
