I make no guarantees for these newfangled “thrillers” with all their twists and turns and serial killings. But should you ever find yourself in the small British town of Something-Or-Other-By-The-Sea or at an old country estate, and the squire collapses over his tea or the maid stumbles across a body…
A little while — well, over a year ago, I wrote a blog entry on why, despite considering myself to be an agnostic atheist and having political opinions divergent from many supported by the Torah or mainstream Judaism, I still consider myself to be a Jew. Every time I read…

Meant to write a more thematic entry, but am feeling pretty under the weather after spending yesterday rolling down hills in a giant hamster ball filled with water whilst wearing a bathing suit in 10-degree-Celsius weather. Uh… I mean, shana tova, and stay tuned for something more appropriate to the…
(Hmmm… found this blog entry at the bottom of my drafts folder. Maybe I should finally post it…) I attended the first protest of my life when I was ten. You see, I’m from Ottawa, where every child’s education inevitably includes at least one field trip to the Visitors’ Gallery…
