Eric says.
“I will refer to her as the “New York Nightingale,” and say that the date was a fabulous experience”
I’m going to assume you are still in NY.
On one hand I am so glad for you.
On the other hand, I’m as envious and jealous as they come.
I have been trying to get back to the apple for years, just for a decent slice.

Eric,
You sound like my twin. Things will work out and you will have a blessed life from Him.

Happy Rosh Hashanah to you Eric.
I don’t wish to hijack a holiday post, so I responded to your comment at my site.

Happy Rosh Hashanah!
I hear ya’, man. If I had a buck for every one of my Jewish buddies who faced your dilemma, I’d fly up to NYC right now and wish you a happy one in person! I remember my friend Bob telling me once, “Judaism is the one religion where you can be an atheist and still be in!” (I don’t think he knew about the UU Church) Good luck, man.

Eric,
Love your blog’s. What a great read on 9/11 !!! Enjoyed your Rosh Hashanah blog also.. Sean Hannity is a PATRIOT, and, as a Veteran, I especially appreciate his support of the military. A strong military keeps us free..

I’m a little late but here’s hoping you and yours will be inscribed in the book of life.
New Year is easy.,..Yom Kippur is the biggie. For whom the bell atones…it atones for thee.
You’re an interesting sort, Eric. You’ve been to my blog to “shamelessly self promote”, as you say. And yes, I do see you doing that frequently. I don’t necessarily see anything wrong with it.
Not necessarily.
We all do it, to a degree.
But since I’m older than you, may I impart this tidbit of wisdom? I wouldn’t worry so much about the traffic your blog gets, …. I ‘d be more concerned with the content your blog includes. People will always happen by…once. What keeps them coming back and bringing other relevant eyes with them is what you have to say.
I know about egos and how number of hits magically seems to transfer into “nameless, faceless minions accept me…they “like” me and my stuff!!!!” .
Write often and by all means, write well. Do that and the hits will come on their own. They mean more that way.
Write on, my friend!

Eric, Great post. Other than the sports ( I am a political junkie, love football but can miss it). I myself struggle with how much observance I follow. I am one half of an interfaith marriage so she turns on college football…

I really dont find any reason to follow anything just because it is tradition or because xzy book says so or my mom and grand mom did this. Ofcourse if some one is doing something because they seriously “believe” in religion and think following religious books is the only way to be good and will get them to heaven..they should seriously make a big effort to follow religion and its practices without fail
I personally have zero belief in religion and I see no reason why I should have faith in something. Bottomline be good and productive ..who knows if there is really a G-D sitting out there..or there are 2 or 3 or none..
To me all this is a big waste of time.
