It's Patriot's Day here in Massachusetts, quite possibly my favorite random statewide holiday (aka, freebie day off). Happy start of the American Revolution! It's also the running of the Boston Marathon. I can totally see a relevant metaphor between marathons and adoption, but … Read More »
On Being Infertile & Jewish at Passover
Passover is one of my favorite holidays, second only to Thanksgiving. They're both about food, family, and rich with tradition. Passover is not an easy holiday for the infertile Jew; so much emphasis is placed on children and fertility that it feels like there are little … Read More »
General updates on life.
So I've come out of hibernation for a bit. It's that whole spring reawakening thing. I don't know how much I plan to update... the emotional release that was so vital and cathartic a year ago doesn't seem as relevant or pressing now.Exciting updates...Larry has a job! He starts … Read More »
Brief Updates on Life
Sitting in the BWI airport, waiting to fly home. Larry's great-aunt passed away Tuesday and we drove down from MA to NJ Wednesday night and then from NJ to MD for the funeral. I have to be at work tomorrow, so I'm flying back tonight and he's driving back in the late morning … Read More »
A Celebratory 100th Post
I can't believe this crept up on me so fast. I can't believe I've written 100 posts since March... nuts. (Although really, this isn't shocking; the LiveJournal I kept for years amassed almost 1200 entries in about 4 years.) In celebration of this momentous occasion, I've got a … Read More »

Show & Tell 5: My Desktop Toucan
This is my desktop toucan. In my head, I call him Toucan Sam. Original, right?He sits just under my computer monitor. I get a strange delight looking at him every day. If he went missing from my desk, I'd be pissed, and then very, very sad. I love this little guy. I don't keep a … Read More »
Full bellies
A delicious Thanksgiving indeed. Family, food, and good times had by all. (This is mostly a test post from the iPod Touch that Larry won me as a raffle prize at the convention he went to last week.)Today, just relaxing at my parents' house watching Battlestar Galactica: The Plan. … Read More »
Thanksgiving is a complicated holiday for me.
I *love* Thanksgiving. It's my favorite holiday of the entire year. My second favorite? Passover... which may as well be Jewish Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving b/c I like sitting down with my family, breaking out the good dishes, breaking out the nice wine glasses, and when I … Read More »
L’shana tova, 5770
The summer of '69 (5769, that is) is now past, and we welcome in a new Jewish year. Larry and I are pretty relieved that this past year is over, as it was probably the most tumultuous one in our lives. We started the year with me in a new job, a new apartment, and my very odd … Read More »
