FEATHER BALLS FOR THE HIGH HOLIDAYS
I’m not being blasphemous here, Feather Balls are Matzoh Balls and today is the start of the Jewish High Holidays. Now I don’t know much about the holidays or how to cook the meals or make the whole thing work the way it is supposed to as I was raised in a white bread town by Jews who pretended they weren’t. So I have to rely on the kindness and wisdom of others.
This year I reached out to my new friend Sarah Lohman. She not only gave me some great information she threw in a real kicker at the end.

MAMMOGRAM DAY

Nobody likes them. Nobody wants to have them. And I don’t know a woman who isn’t terrified of them. But we have do it. Today was mine. This weekend is also the Susan Koman Race For The Cure Run/Jog/Walk here in New York. Needless to say they have been on my mind.

TRYING TIMES
Now that it is behind us and I stare out the window at the fall rain I can honestly say I don’t know anyone who had a smooth summer this year.

START THE SEASON OFF BY GIVING WHAT YOU KNOW
Despite the fact I graduated from high school in 1976 I still think of the year in terms of the school schedule. So when most people make their resolutions in December I tend to do it in September.
Have you been telling yourself the world is a mess and I would like to help out? Do you want to get more involved in grooming the future generation and passing on what you know? Well, September is a good time to start and Catchafire has a way of making it easy.
