Home for the Holy Days

I'm in Orlando for BlogOrlando. Speaking in a couple hours, sitting on a floor watching Spike Jones from Brains on Fire right now. Not a lot to say right now, just realized that I hadn't checked in. When I get back to Chicago, I'll start

Support the Binah School

Monday, 22 September 2008 8:50 A GMT-06
About a month ago, I got to meet my friend Michael in person for the first time. While he was here, I gave him a couple power point tips for a fundraising presentation he was putting together. He's the co-founder of The Binah School and they are

14.62 miles

Sunday, 21 September 2008 9:16 P GMT-06
Today I slept in and got a very late start on my walk. But by 6PM, I was fed and home. I've pretty much been in bed since I got home. The good news is that I got to see the big red ball when I got to North Avenue Beach. Yay!Other than that, there

11.3 miles is not 14 miles

Saturday, 20 September 2008 4:21 P GMT-06
Today I was scheduled for a 14 mile walk. After getting totally off schedule last week between the rain and travel, I really wanted to get it right. I got it sort of right. I got out of the house early. I wore an ankle brace on each foot. I had Luna

If you are new to the blog, you might not know that I am walking in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk in Atlanta, GA. I'm walking with a team made up of Edelman employees from around North America. I set my fund raising goal at $3600 an

So much to do, so much to say

Tuesday, 16 September 2008 10:56 P GMT-06
I owe a million blog posts, instead you'll get a list. I've been doing insane amounts of web 2.0 and extroverted things these days, that I can't keep up and I'm utterly exhausted.Saturday was a blogger meet-up that Edelman client Illi

ARZA, Reform Jews, Reform JBCs and Aliyah

Friday, 12 September 2008 12:39 P GMT-06
I have so much to say after attending the ARZA event at my shul last night, but little to no time to say it in.1. I got a good response when I asked about the problem/challenge of second home aliyah creating ghost towns in areas of Jerusalem. &

Blog on!

Wednesday, 10 September 2008 10:07 A GMT-06
My blog went down last night, the caching server went down again. That's what five years of content does occasionally.Just wanted to say a quick hello to everyone who attended OMWE yesterday. It was a great day and I loved getting to talk about

I hurt.

Saturday, 6 September 2008 4:53 P GMT-06
Today's walk was bad. It was hard. My feet ache, I walked slow, I was grumpy. Overcast sky, crowded path. I accidentally wound up in Montrose Harbor which added quite a bit onto my walk. In the end, I went 10.8 miles, but it took me hours to do t

First Kisses

Tuesday, 2 September 2008 11:32 P GMT-06
Every first kiss holds the possibility of being the last first kiss of your life. The wish that this is the person you'll kiss for the rest of your life. The moment of realization that it wasn't the last first kiss, but possibly the second to

Itza Mitzva Collaborator Check-In

Monday, 1 September 2008 11:08 A GMT-06
In my next life, I'll get paid to have great ideas that other people can execute. It's the imagining of something new and amazing that I love, not always the creating... which might be why my novel is getting dusty and why despite many people

The Josh Nelson Project and Lift

Monday, 1 September 2008 10:11 A GMT-06
I am much delayed in telling you about fellow ROInik's new album. I got to spend lots of quality time with Josh Nelson when I was in Jerusalem this summer. He's an amazing musician and wonderful human being AND he's celebrating the relea
