I thought it was very neat; now, one of the pics I took on my vacation will help others enjoy (in its own little way) their own vacation in Brussels!
Go ahead and get your own Schmap Player and Schmaps for a variety of destinations. I’ve found these interactive maps to be quite useful in doing research for both my trips and my show, The Gamer Traveler Podcast.
They freakin’ infuriate me. I have a debt owed to AmEx, one that I have not been able to pay for a while. Hopefully that will change soon, but today I get a call from the collection agency it has been assigned to, and these people are freakin’ bullies. They come across, right from the start, with a rude attitude, then when eventually you get pissed off, the start allegations that you are being uncooperative, evasive and don’t want to talk to them. What the hell do you think I am doing on the phone with you, asshat? ARGH!!! What a way to ruin your lunch break.
From tonight’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy, Six Days:
George stands outside the hospital moments after his father has passed away.
George: “I don’t know how to exist in a world without my father.”
Christina: “Yeah, that doesn’t go away.”
How painfully true.
This show has made me tear up twice, but tonight it made me cry like a child.
24 Tevet, 5767
Today is the yartzeit of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, also known as the Alter Rebbe, the founder of the Chabad Lubavitch Chasidic movement.
To make any kind of summary of his life would be to do a disservice to some aspect of it. Among his greatest achievements are the writing of the famous and revered Likutei Amarim, or Tanya, and the creation of the Chabad movement. Rabbi Zalman’s writings provide, to this day, the philosophical foundation of Chabad, and every Rebbe after him, down to the last Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Shneerson, followed in his idelogical footsteps to bring Torah, especially the secret and mystical parts of the Torah as expounded by Chassidus, to the people. The Alter Rebbe brought the loftiest of concepts down to a simple and understandable level in his writings, allowing even an unlearned layman to access the mystic core of the Torah.
This quote from the Alter Rebbe’s biography on Chabad.org sums it up nicely:
It used to be said: “In Vilna they knew how to study; in Meseritch they knew how to pray.†Rabbi Shneur Zalman, the saintly Sage of Liadi, knew how to do both. He bridged the gap between the mind and heart by his masterly synthesis of intellect and emotion within the framework of Chabad ideology.
May his soul have an aliyah and may he intercede with the Almighty on our behalf to have the redemption in our days.
I expect you all to address me henceforth as
I just got off the phone with the man who it seems will be my new boss come March of this year!
I interviewed in November for a position in the Close Captioning department at Telemundo Networks (where my wife also works) and all signs seem to be pointing to me starting in March, if all goes well and with G-d’s help.
We’ll see what happens. I’m very excited about this new development.
