We need to stop making fun of Trump.  No, I’m being serious.  I’ve been sitting on this for a while, but the bombing in North Carolina over the weekend showed me it’s time to say something.

Last week, I took a day off to atone.  It was Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.  During the Vidui, the Confession, I recited the following:

From an email I wrote to a cousin a long time ago, this really should be on a web page:

Here are a few kid-friendly ideas, all of which are in East Bay:

There's been a lot of talk lately about the Confederate flag, how evil it is, how the people who wave it are all bad, and how it must come down.  I know some of those people who love that flag, and I feel bad for them.  I feel bad for them because society doesn't understand them, and society ignores them when they try to speak up.

This blog is different.  Can you tell?  Probably not, which was the point.

My web host did an upgrade, which broke my blog.  The truth is this is a good thing; PHP 5.2 hasn't been supported in a very long time, and Drupal 6 is very quickly approaching End of Life.  It was time to upgrade.

I really wish I could say "sorry I haven't posted in so long, I'll totally start posting more often."  But that's not really true.  A plain blog doesn't really fit my update style any more.  The truth is I have been posting prolifically, on Twitter, Flickr, and Youtube.  Lots of work-related stuff, lots of pictures of the kids.
