Aaron and I have completed our graphic version of the Torah. Each week, Jews around the world read the same section of the Torah, such that we complete the whole book in a year. These sections are called portions, and each has a name and a week assigned to it. Our comic was done in real time, 2 pages each week on that portion, posted on our ( Read more... )

It's our last morning in Jerusalem and Aaron and Ray went into town to get gifts and change money.  I stayed home to be near the toilet, having made myself sick on arabian apricots, in season for just 2 weeks.  It was worth it.  They were sweet and smooth and exquisitely perishable ( Read more... )

We spent the weekend in Arizona where Aaron's working for the Hassidic Jews, doing a comedy show for them.

I am losing all my jobs, starting yesterday. I didn't go to 61 as usual-- we hired someone to cover Sundays. It felt weird, but I went to the gym, then out to breakfast with James (omelet ole with feta cheese), hung out with Aaron, looked at paintings, then went to the gallery for our opening. I was planning to stay for an hour, but Joanie set ( Read more... )

The whole family except Aunt Donna, who had a concert, and Molly, who had a better offer, came to Carla's new house last night for a birthday party for Emma and Isaac. They still haven't sold the big house, but the kids were ready to move already, and they've been there for 10 days. It's beautiful. I like it way more than the big house. It's ( Read more... )
