Leaping Lessons

I was thinking the other day about my jumping Jumbo prowess. I can jump real high, and that – is cool. The thing is, I’ve tried running and jumping stam azioy, and I can’t jump that high.
 
Not without that bar set.

Staying the Course

I got lost last night. We were looking for the sign, but didn’t see it.
So we turned.
We went down a wrong road for a short while, until recognized it was in fact a wrong road, and the sign we were looking for wasn’t coming. So we turned around and retraced our steps. And instead of [...]

Familial Failings

Copping Out

I’m suffering from a quasi writer’s block. So I’m copping out and posting a MEME that Tembow tagged me in a while ago. It’s half serious, half, well, not so.

My Mama

I went to Kever Rochel the other day. It was an interesting experience.
I was having a difficult time relating to the whole “Mama Rochel” thing, when I can just go “Tatte” at the Kosel.
