This is My Generation

I hate to humiliate a friend, but this tweet personifies my peer group:

The Day After Christmas

Instead of blogging today, I wrote emails! I was supposed to have a snowball fight, but Mother Nature conspired to melt all the snow. The sad.

The two, rather lengthy emails, were in response to this Andrew Sullivan post, and a query of Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb, leader of the Gaza Freedom March, regarding the possible participation of COSATU and Bongani Masuku.

2011 Will Be a Bit of a Let Down

It's accepted students week at Carleton today, and wouldn't you know it if we're in the middle of our second snow storm this April! Not just flurries, mind you--it's really coming down, and it's sticking.

Somehow, I think we might be looking at a bit of a yield-dip for the entering class of 2011.

April Showers

When someone at the Seder mentioned it was snowing outside, I laughed. Oh, how bitter that laugh is now.
