My 2015 Christmas message
Whether your tradition is turkey/ham (Protestant), corned beef/cabbage (Catholic) or Chinese food (Jews), may peace/love be your dessert.

My 2015 Christmas message
Friday, December 25th, 2015My 2015 Christmas Eve Message
Thursday, December 24th, 2015My 2015 Christmas Message
12 Pizza Rolls
11 Coke bottles
10 Bags of chips
9 Slim Jims
8 Donuts
7-Eleven holiday shopping done!
As a proud Jew, I would like to wish a Merry Christmas to every Christian in this world I am privileged to know.
While my knowledge of Christianity is little, my appreciation of the faith runs wide and deep. Anything that teaches people to love thy neighbor is good with me.
So may your Christmas be peaceful, emotionally and spiritually fulfilling, and filled with love.
I even wish a Merry Christmas to San Diego Chargers fans, but nothing beyond that.
Unless the Oakland Raiders win tonight, I take back everything I said and offer lumps of coal for everybody. The fate of Christmas depends on devout Christian and Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr.
I would wish a Happy Festivus for the Rest of Us, but apparently I have been banned from Festivus celebrations since every day of my existence is an airing of my grievances.
So may it be a Silver and Black Thursday night for me and a Merry Christmas for everyone else.
Dear Santa, help good Christian Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr have a great night and deliver a Raiders win!
To gangsta rap fans, a Merry Crunkmas. May your holiday be filled with more ho ho hos than a Snoop Dogg video. May your Christmas be crunk and your girl have plenty of junk in the trunk.
To quote comedian Anthony Clark, to all atheists, “Well, I hope you win the lottery dude.”
For my fellow capitalists, while it’s too late for X-Mas and New Years Eve, Martin Luther King Jr. Day shoppers can still buy my books “Ideological Lunacy” & “Jewish Lunacy” in time for MLK Day. They make great MLK Day gifts.
To Jews I forgot to wish a Happy Hanukkah, consider this my belated well wishes.
For Jews, tonight is the biggest party night of the year. Hot Republican Jewish brunettes await.
Happy 2016 in advance. Good night and God bless us every one.

Hanukkah 2015 Night 7: Remembering what matters most
Sunday, December 13th, 2015Hanukkah 2015 Night 7: Remembering what matters most
Tonight a homeless woman approached me outside a 7-11. She asked for change. I offered to buy her food. She said she needed change because the Dunkin Donuts down the street had cheaper food. She didn’t want to waste my money.
How can a guy not be moved by that? I got her a hot dog and an OJ at her request.
I type this not to receive praise but to remind myself that I have not completely lost all humanity. One day when I’m ticked off thinking I’ve done nothing, I’ll see this post.
Happy Hanukkah.

Yom Kippur 5776
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2015Yom Kippur 5776
I don’t have a bunch of flowery words heading into Yom Kippur. We are all flawed. We all need to be better people. That certainly includes me. I’ll let the theologians handle the scholarly sayings. My solace comes from a man I have little in common with, singer John Cougar Mellencamp. A line from his song “Check it out” is meaningful. It sums up how I feel.
“Forgot to say hello to my neighbors. Sometimes I question my own behavior.”
There are plenty of things I could have done better. There are numerous people that I can ask for forgiveness. However, I will not engage in phony repentance or apologize for what I have done right.
In terms of what I can, should and will apologize for, that is between me and my Hebrew God.
My goal post Yom Kippur is to take the man I am and the man I could and should be and see if I can get them to converge, or at least stop diverging.
For those fasting on Yom Kippur, may you have a meaningful fast.
May almighty God shine his light on all of you.

For one month I barnstormed Indiana, Illinois and Ohio.
Now it is time to go home and recharge my batteries.
August 11 has me on a 7am flight from Indy back to LA.
Time to get some sleep.
This concludes West Bound and Down Tuesday.
See you Wednesday.
