Nope...it's not April Fools! It was just announced that next month three Star Trek fragrances will be available. This is just funny beyond words. I hope that one day we get Eau de Tribble.... one could only hope afterall!
I will actually check it out... you never know until you smell it. I am personally becoming a big fan of the Tiffany cologne for me. But me thinks I will save my sheckels for now.
Last week I saw "Cast a Giant Shadow". This movie is a fictionalized account of the life of American Jew and Army Colonel, Mickey Marcus, who became the first modern General of Israel and was instrumental but overlooked in the establishment of the State of Israel.
I had never heard about this movie and only in browsing Netflix I became aware of it's very existence. This movie is certainly a lost classic. Released in 1966 it has Kirk Douglas, Frank Sinatra, Topol, and even John Wayne. The Beatles and Rolling Stones were taking root in America as this movie was being released and somehow it got lost through the sands of time. There are many campy moments and even cheesy moments, but this movie had so many Zionist overtones and undertones it becomes a true classic for me. I suppose I feel a connection to this movie because of my Jewish heritage, my travels to Israel in 2007, and even in part because my great-grandfather Louis Adelson helped run guns to Palestine to help establish the State of Israel.
Go rent this hidden gem. It is worth it on so many levels and if nothing else, to see John Wayne say L'Chaim!
Yes, it has been quite some time since I really contributed an article. In this modern age it becomes increasingly difficult to communicate with everyone, especially given all the communication channels we have available. Decades ago, people awaited letters delivered by slow boat across a vast slow moving ocean vessel, or by horse drawn wagons across an open plain. Now we have Twitter, Joomla, WordPress, and of course FaceBook.
I spend a lot of my time on FaceBook, probably too much time on there. Everyone is there in my family, even my mother in law. It is ana amazing way to communicate and with immediate collaboration and social communication.
That being said, I don't want to abandon my online community and my website. I am just a little slower. Oh and did I mention that I work and during the day my company does heavy web monitoring now so I cannot do as much communication during the day? No excuses, just explanations.
Thank you to everyone who reads this, and send me emails.

PS: Godfrey, I don't think I wrote your email correctly Please contact me again my friend!
Thank you all. We want to take a few minutes away from our honeymoon to thank each and everyone of you for making it a magical and heartfelt wedding.
There were only two of us and over a hundred guests. It was YOU who made it so special for us.
You toasted, roasted, and celebrated with us in a way that we have not experienced before and shall cherish for all time.
A special thanks to our families who we love so much (and to my new brother Marc who will always keep me straight and ask for a blog entry…. even on our honeymoon.)
We wish we could have spent more time with each of you.
Each and everyone of you is in our heart right now.
How can you save the planet and save printer costs by 20%? Easy... go to EcoFont . This font prints out very well and you can hardly tell that small pixels are missing. Only the print head knows that and our eye cannot discern that small bit of detail. Imagine not having to go to Office Depot to buy as many black ink cartridges. Those little suckers are darn expensive and most people just throw them out. This is your solution!
I don't know what else to say other than "Yes We Did" G-d bless America and this incoming administration. I don't expect them to fix everything overnight but at least we can start digging ourselves out now!
Go out and VOTE today! This is your right and the most American thing you can do all year!!! Don't you feel embarrassed that more people voted for the American Idol 2004 final than did for President!
Remember... don't celebrate before you get to the finish

I saw this video years ago and always wondered what this person must have thought when the video was posted. Now.. you can only imagine what that person feels like.
Of all the wines and wineries I have ever tried n Virginia, I have to say that Marterella Wines is by far the best winery you can find. Marterella is about an hour outside of Washington DC in the rolling foothills of Virginia. The owners and the staff are truely exceptional and about the friendliest group of people you are going to meet. A longtime friend has been a member of the winery's Case Club for several years now and invited us along. We sat on the terrace for about three hours with our picnic basket enjoying our cheese and vegetables along with wine and pizza from their outdoor pizza oven. I would highly recommend Marterella to everyone who enjoys a very friendly, down to earth winery with spectacular views of the vines and the surrounding countryside.
Of course as an added bonus, Debbie was able to see some Grain Elevators in the distance. It was a fantastic evening with an international economist and satellite navigator at the table (yes... because these two demographics so frequently meet).
I hope to become a Case Club member soon! This is truly an exceptional winery and this will not be my last trip out to Marterella.
I am really excited about an upcoming concert in DC. One of my favorite bands in the world, Balkan Beat Box , is playing in just a few weeks. They are an amazing band in person. Take a look below. For all those living in DC, they are coming through town soon and playing at the ever so hip Black Cat club.
This seems like a good idea. The Japanese have come up with a great design concept, very green, very lightweight and seemingly logical.
The only problem is if thieves discover acetate! Or even worse... friends play the old "fill your house to the top with hotchocolate" and even more deadly... hotchocolate AND marshmallows! Chocolate goodness and furniture never mix!
We all went to college, and we all know the pranks people play. Filling your office cube to the top with balloons or tin foil balls is one thing. But I know my AEPi and Carnegie Mellon friends would have a field day with this!
Well, my office has been clamping down increasingly on internet traffic. More accurately, non-work related traffic (actually truth be told they don't know who or what to block and actually block very useful sites). Since the mortgage doesn't pay for itself I have had to abstain from blogging durring the day and I am too caught up in my wonderful life at night. So the blogging shall continue, but not as frequently as before. Also, I have been fully inspected and accepted by the friends and family of my beshert. You may continue reading, but I think I have been throughly accepted (did I mention that the feeling is mutual).
Hello everyone. Not much to report here. Life sure has been busy. Ok...by the image on the left you can see it has been REALLY busy and exciting! I am busy streamlining my life at the moment. I am busy selling my house (click here if you would like to buy it ).
I will say this, life is truly fantastic. You don't have to make life magical, or plan stuff to make it magical. When you fall in love with a person and in life like I have,the magic just comes to you.

I don't know what else to say other than "Yes We Did" G-d bless America and this incoming administration. I don't expect them to fix everything overnight but at least we can start digging ourselves out now!
