List on the 3s: Shiny’s Day-End Retrospective of December 31, 2008

Posted by shiny  Published in List on the 3s, blogging

List on the 3s — if a day has a 3 in it, I write a list. Get it? Got it? Good. As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve been seeing a lot of year-end recaps of the best and worst of everything somehow connected to the Internets.  It’s especially interesting to see people reflect on their [...]

Posted by shiny  Published in List on the 3s

“List on the 3s” is my regular feature on which I create for you, the avid reader, a list of some sort on any day which happens to have a 3 in it.  I missed December 23. There. I said it. I was very, very, very busy.  Still am, actually. Which is why this list [...]

Six

Posted by shiny  Published in Uncategorized

Six years and about twenty hours ago we had no clue that this day would happen. In fact, it was the Saturday night before. We hadn’t entirely unpacked from our trip to Orlando — where we had volunteered as staff for our annual youth group international convention for which we volunteer every year. socKs’s doctor [...]

Posted by shiny  Published in Uncategorized

“It says there’s no smacking here!” I’m on the airplane next to the almost six year-old. He’s a pretty good flyer — now that he’s old enough to help carry his own stuff, go to the bathroom in the terminal, and entertain himself. Now that he’s reading anything and everything, it also makes things more [...]

On Jews, Christmas Cards, and That Stupid Dreidel Song

Posted by shiny  Published in jewish, shiny

I’m Jewish. Particularly Jewish. Jewish in many ways. If you know my last name, you know that it’s unmistakeably Jewish. My Dad is from Brooklyn. My parents brought their two kids up in a very positive Jewish environment where we were active in our synagogue.  My brother and I attended a Jewish day school, Jewish [...]

List on the — no, wait. different day, different meme: * I’m feedburnin’! I’ve finally decided to get on the Feedburner bandwagon.

Lists on the 3: The Best and Worst of Two Comedy Legends/Duds

Posted by shiny  Published in List on the 3s

List on the 3s is that wacky meme where I write a list on a date which has a 3 in it. But today I’m not writing a list. I’m writing four. I was recently reminiscing about one of my favorite radio programs — a show which no longer exists in its current incarnation, but [...]
