Welcome to my little Nerdery on the Net! :)

Sherman, set the Wayback Machine for a week ago when we stopped at Chick Fil A after springing Alex from hospital. Julia ordered the chicken noodle soup and what followed was truly comical. The first attempt arrives and it is bereft of any chicken larger than your average molecule. You would think they would go out of their way to ensure the second attempt would have visible chicken content. And you’d be wrong! At this…

As I had a captive audience and a cousin troublemaker of the best kind, I tried explaining the basic ideas of kashrut…

After reading and hearing about Mr Trump's speech at the accepted forum for the expression of international hatred (the UN General Assembly)…it is truly scary to think that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is now officially the SECOND CRAZIEST person to address the Secretariat. I cannot recall a UN speech by a head of state where their member state called for the complete destruction of another member state. You'd think that would be the ultimate party foul worthy…
