This us a year of new trends in HH: first a short story of thriller or romance variety, then a new habit of providing a litany of excuses. Jack of the Jack's Shack focused on his daughter as the main excuse, and I thought it was a good one as excuses go. But now we are dealing with a past master of this delicate and nuanced art. Yid with Lid will become now my mentor in this discipline, I swear. Just take a look at this (partial) list of excuses:
- Wife's illness (hope it is already history)
- No Hebrew keyboard to do Gematria exercises
- Family in the other room watching a Saturday Night Live rerun
- Realizing that he just can't do this (probably linked to the one above)
- Declaring himself a failure at hosting Haveil Havalim (this was a feeble one, really)
Anyway, after all these excuses the real thing starts, and all you need now is lots of time, attention and money.
Why have I mentioned money? Er... force of habit and to let some people to confirm the Jewish stereotype. Just go there and enjoy yourself.
