I don’t really see how this adds to the tale, but Rowling shared it the other day and now I share it with you.

Why Do You Pray
My best friend and I spend all sorts of time debating and discussing all sorts of stuff. The title of this post sort of sums it all up. We had been discussing whether I actually believe in the moshiach (messiah) and whether I daven (pray) for him to come.
I am a little short on time so I can’t dig into this the way I want to, but I suppose that I can really sum up our conversation to be “Why do you pray?”
It deserves a real response. I’ll try to come back and give it later.

Old Post That Caught My Eye
I am working on a big project and decided to take a short break. So I took a moment to sift through the archives and stumbled onto some old posts that I decided to dust off and present again.

Airlines Continue To Rob The Public
This morning I was more than a little disturbed to read the following headline in The Los Angeles Times:
Airlines squeeze fliers as profit soars
Having just returned from my most recent business trip in which I and several hundred others were stuffed inside a plane and asked to pay for stale food I was less than pleased to read the following:
The nation’s airlines were late more often this summer, lost more baggage and bumped more passengers off flights than in any summer this decade. They also made more money.
Despite the worst summer ever for air travelers, major airlines posted huge profits as they packed more passengers into fewer and smaller planes.
We pay more and receive less. There is something wrong, very, very wrong with this picture.
If you Could Play One Instrument What Would It Be?
Ok folks, it is time for a new question. This is for musicians and non-musicians alike. Pretend you could take a pill that would make you an expert at playing a particular instrument.
What instrument would you pick and why?
(If you already play that instrument feel free to include that in your answer.)
