I’ll be home in a little while, and I’m bringing a real estate agent with me. If you want to ruin my day big time, just bring anyone involved in real estate transactions into my field of vision, which is what Barbara was threatening to do.

I’ll drink to that
Some thoughts about conversation
Let’s agree, hosting a kiddush in one’s home every Shabbat morning, as I do week in and week out, is not the hardest thing you’ll ever have to do, but there are things to consider if you want to make it a thing of beauty. One issue that you might not think about right off the bat is the quality of the conversation. Take it from me, it makes all the difference in the world.
It’s the small stuff
Those I can handle…
Catastrophes, disasters, and calamities, those I can handle; it’s the small stuff that throws me for a loop. Those are my words, but the sentiment is pretty much what our friend expressed, sitting over a shared meal at our local sushi purveyor a while ago. Back in Teaneck, he was a volunteer on the local ambulance corps; now he does his shifts for Magen David Adom. (I’m on call tonight; whatever emergencies you plan to have, have them wait until tomorrow!)
