Hello Ziggybackriders! Oh, how I've missed you. So much has happened since last we were together. Unfortunately, I can't write much now, but boy oh boy, when I can...
In the last few weeks, I've been to Washington, D.C., where I met with several Members of Congress and saw some of my favorite sites in this great nation of ours. I have plenty to tell you about that. I have also helped engineer my Temple's celebration of the Jewish holiday of Purim. For those unfamiliar, I will explain the holiday later, but just know that tax season is to an accountant as Purim is to a synagogue youth director. I'm pooped!
An exciting basketball season has continued for me as a player and as the coach of a high school girls' team, the Temple Israel Lady Rabs. They're not bad! It's fun! Speaking of basketball, I have seen less of the NCAA Basketball Tournament than ever before and that makes me sad, as it is my favorite of all sporting events. I will, however, be watching the NIT Semifinals tonight as my hometown Memphis Tigers take on St. Joe's in hopes of continuing what is now a nine-game NIT win streak and securing a berth in Thursday night's championship game.
Early tomorrow morning, I'm off to Houston, TX, which is a city I could mostly do without. Exceptions to that include that it is the hometown of much of my extended family and many of my college friends from UT Austin, and that tomorrow, it is where my father will be installed as president of all the rabbis of Reform Judaism, worldwide. A nice honor and a big responsibility. Glad I'll get to be there!
Okay, that's it for now. Just wanted you to know I'm still alive (which is saying something considering my next door neighbor was shot right outside my condo the other night while I slept. He, too, is alive and well, but I mean... you know... wow!).
See you soon!
