200th Post: Something To Bring a Smile To Your Face
Women’s Happiness and Being a Parent
I just can’t kick this parenting thing. Every post I feel like writing is connected with parenting.
The last time this happened I was hooked on clothes. Those posts are all linked here, here, here, here, here and here. I recommend checking those out.
One of the most popular articles on NYTimes.com this week is an Op-Ed about [...]
Parenting: Unconditional Love
Parenting has been on my mind lately.
Earlier today I posted about Kim Clijsters and the sacrifices of working mothers.
It must be the impending Rosh Hashana that is influencing these thoughts of parents and children.
Parenting is tough job. There are no vacations. There is no financial remuneration. It is oftentimes thankless.
Also we are so clueless as [...]
Kim Clijsters: Tennis Champion and Mother
Something has been on mind the last few days. The last three blog posts I have attempted to write have been all on the same topic. I have decided to turn them into two blog posts and this is the first of a two part series.
The topic is parenting. The relationship between parents and their [...]
Family Outing to Huntington Gardens
We took the family on a Sunday trip to Pasadena to see the famous Huntington Gardens.
Esteemed Pacific Jewish Center, Board Member, Alan Lipman first told me about this landmark a few months back. He described Huntington Gardens as a place of natural beauty, educational value and cultural significance. I had been looking forward to seeing [...]
A Post Stained With Tears | Moish Gluck Of Blessed Memory
I have not been to a lot of funerals in my life. I have been blessed.
Yesterday evening my family celebrated Sheva Brachos for a cousin in my parents home. It was a joyous occasion.
Immediately following its conclusion, I walked the 200 feet from my parent’s home to the neighborhood shul. At about 11:00 PM a [...]
Ron Artest Is Going To The Lakers | What Do I Think?
Yes, the red-headed step child of the NBA is going to the Lakers.
There are folks who will be up in arms over a known “thug” joining their beloved Lakers.
The same Ron Artest who was suspended for one full year from participating in NBA games for his egregious actions when he was a young up and [...]
Take A Smile Break | Another Cute Baby Post
After yesterdays disturbing news and my sobering blog post about mid-eastern Jewry I thought something lighter would be appropriate for today.
Our son Ozzie, will be 7 months old in a couple of weeks.
There is nothing quite like the experience of observing a baby grow. They are completely helpless when they are born and they gain [...]
Honor Thy Father & Mother | Connections 6/8/09
Another beautiful evening in Venice CA was highlighted by a wonderful Connections.
Everyone was all smiles and we had a great time socializing and learning.
Our Torah topic was the philosophy and moral implications of honoring one’s parents.
We discussed various theories and we ended with the Torah approach.
I recommend listening to this class as the questions and [...]
Athletes as Role Models?
A few months back I hinted at a future post about athletes and their role in our society as role models.
This past weekend I was reminded about my feelings on the subject. What I feel is what I believe to be the Torah approach but is of consequence and significance to anyone and everyone.
Over the [...]
I Could Not Help Myself
I just had to post this video.
While I was at school today, my 5 month old son, Ozzie, learned a new trick.
It is so incredible seeing our baby grow more and more each day. It seems like just a short while ago he was unable to interact with us and now he is playing games [...]
A Nation's Challenge and "Seabiscuits"
Today was closing day at Santa Anita Park. That means the season of horse racing has come to a close at Santa Anita Park and I was there.
Today, we took the boys to see the ponies run.
Previously, we lived in Baltimore MD, home of The Preakness at Pimlico Race Track. The Preakness is one leg [...]
Breaking News! Ad@lf Hitl&r Campbell Update
A few weeks ago I commented on the idiots who named their children Adolf Hitler Campbell and Aryan Nation Campbell. They had a problem getting a birthday cake. Awwww, too bad.
Now they have a new problem on their hands. They will need to be invited by the authorities for the next birthday party. It seems [...]
Adolf Hitler Campbell can't get a birthday cake
Here’s a good one…
We just named our baby and honestly a lot of thought goes into it!
This family decided a good name for their bundle of sweetness and joy is ADOLF HITLER Campbell! Imagine this kid going through life with a name like that!
Sometimes you wonder if these people even think about what they are [...]
