Day 1339
I have not been in a very good way emotionally these last few weeks and it shows. These last two days have been particularly difficult for reasons that I cannot put my finger on. As such, yesterday’s entry was a bit more morbid than it might have been. To be clear for those who are…

Day 1179
Last night’s Passover Seder was a delight. I was invited by a group of friends who were all kicked out of a community group because they are Zionists. Not all of them were Jewish, but they were all my people. It was a delight. The company was wonderful, the food was delicious; Passover is truly…

Day 1071
I did not expect to lose a pound this morning but am grateful for it. I doubt I will be so lucky tomorrow morning, what with my trip to Strathroy to see my godson and goddaughter today. I am salivating just thinking about the turkey dinner! I am still over the terrible mark, but I…
