Rosh Hashanah

[profrobert]

Two friends, a Jew and a Gentile, are taking a walk together on a September evening through their upscale suburban neighborhood.  Suddenly, there is a low, moaning sound that fills the air.  The Gentile jumps.  "What was that?" he asks.  "Oh," replies the Jew, "It's Rosh Hashanah tonight, the Jewish New Year.  What you're hearing is the traditional

I'd suggest repenting for this sin over Yom Kippur, but I know you, and you don't regret this at all.

Shanah tovah to you and the family!

Excellent! Greetings of the season!

Bunny! Good to hear from you. Hope all is well with you and Sean.

We're well and strong, thanks for asking. Your Yankees appear to be imploding. My Mariners are only 1 game behind you for the wildcard. Perhaps this is the year they'll finally make the playoffs. It's been a long dry spell. Did you know the M's are the only team that's never played for the Series? Forty-four years without making the Big Show. They haven't even been in a playoff since 2001. It's high time. I went to Seattle in July and watched them lose 2 games at T-Mobile Park. Sigh

That's a great story about Ron. I don't understand why it took so long to figure out "Honor the vet, even if you oppose the war." The Yankees honor a vet during the seventh inning stretch every game, but they ruin it with the jingoistic "God Bless America." At least they got rid of that old racist Kate Smith.

I wish Antifa were a real thing. I'd totally support it. You know who was Antifa? My father. He volunteered to fight fascists in World War II. I'm sure he would have much rather have continued his undergraduate career at Harvard, but fascists urgently need to be killed. In the event, he never left North America, but he would have gone where he was ordered and done what he was told to do by his superiors. Antifascists are my heroes.

The Yankees stink beyond all human comprehension. They sneaked past the .500 Mets yesterday, but needed four homeruns to do it. It's like that's the plan -- four homeruns a game. What you do in the nine out of ten games when you don't get four dingers seems not to have been considered.
