October 10, 2018 The case against us all paying for private schools Several times a year, before elections, a man in Florida emails me about who to support in elections down there. The goal is to receive money (Isn’t that everyone’s?) for private schools.
September 14, 2018 Eric Trump and his shekels I’m putting this post out there because of a discussion on my Facebook page over Eric Trump’s shekels comment and the Washington Post article near the top of it. I expected some support. Any support.

June 2, 2018 Sign, sign, everywhere a sign Who would’ve thought of me as some type of music expert? Definitely not anybody who knows me! I’ve been planning this blog for a…
November 21, 2017 Lessons on addressing, our government’s gift to you! On Facebook? You’re probably signed up for a lesson on mailing a letter, paid for by the U.S. government, like the one above. I…
February 17, 2017 Beating Welch’s un-kosher coupon policy I don’t get shocked too much anymore. Maybe that’s from age, or having done a lot of things in a lot of places. Maybe…
February 3, 2017 The media: Certainly imperfect, definitely necessary and trying This is my first blog in several months, and only my second since arriving back in Philadelphia. The first was shortly after my return, so…
January 30, 2016 A better bedroom (and bigger blog) I have to start off by saying this blog post is late. I warned you when I was finishing the last one. It wasn’t…

December 6, 2015 Big bathroom news! It’s not the most appetizing title, but I realized you were craving pictures of the house before the first major renovation. I should also…
November 15, 2015 Past time to stop terror once and for all, not necessarily for the French I love being back in news. Sure, the hours are long, especially when you don’t have a boss. (My new one starts November 30th)….
June 8, 2015 From the Tri-Cities to the Tri-States It’s me again. I have to write more often. It doesn’t have to be a book. Saving stuff up is too time-consuming, anyway. I’d…
May 17, 2015 Odds & ends from 3 weeks I haven’t posted anything in about 3 weeks. (I also haven’t heard from you asking for a post. Unbelievable! What’s up with that?) I…
April 12, 2015 Spring cleaning and Passover food It’s April and there’s a lot of spring cleaning going on in the Tri-Cities and other places.

February 16, 2015 Using African migrants as an excuse to bash Israel I rarely get involved in discussions I see on Facebook, other than liking a post or signing a petition. Unfortunately, what I saw today had…
