Naked
Ennui? Holiday lull? How can I explain two weeks without posting other than to blame the season. Actually, it probably has nothing to do with it -- pointing the finger at Xmas/Hanukkah (we do both) is unfair. I'm just not inspired to write right now...that's the whole of my excuse, lame as it is.
More to come later. Just wanted people to know that I'm still alive and still OK, family is good, work is work, Tar Heels are improving, the Billy Goats (my fantasy football team) went down in flames this year so now I'll have more time to surf porn instead of injury wires.
Bright spot of the week: going to the Barenaked Ladies concert last night at the very intimate Nob Hill Masonic Center. Those guys really seem to enjoy putting on a show...and if it's fake, I don't want to know. I don't care to hear the backstory (if there is one) of how they don't actually get along and one slept with the other's girlfriend and another accused another of hogging the spotlight blah blah blah. I'm going to let it be what it was: a highly entertaining, funny, engaging, well-performed show, sprinkled with holiday tunes.
Another note: check out the opening act -- The Leevees. A very engaging little set they put on. I suppose it helps that I'm raising a Jewish daughter, which makes me familiar with the trappings around Hanukkah and Judaism in general. I've got to look into the Zambonis next....
Back to grind. Millions of healthy eyeballs to preserve.

Welcome back.
It is a shame you didn't know my sister and her family when you were in Portland. She was raised Christian, married a Jewish man and has converted and their kids are Jewish. Her oldest daughter is having her Bat Mitvah this summer. But, of course, they have a Hannuka bush every year. And we still send them Christmas presents every year.
I saw BNL araound 1996 or 1997 and it was one of the most energetic, fun shows ever. They did a spoof of the Spice Girl's "Tell me What you Want" that I will never forget.
