Turns out my LJ.com syndication feed (http://syndicated.livejournal.com/jik_blog/) has been broken since I installed bookmarkify in March.

I’ve just asked to be unsubscribed from the “jewish-boston” mailing list. I just can’t take it anymore.

The Perkins School for the Blind used to be on the list of charitable organizations which my wife and I support. At some point I donated to them on-line through their Web site, providing my email address at that time so that they could send a receipt via email. They subsequently used that address to… Read More »
In my ongoing quest to find a brick-and-mortar or Web merchant from which I can easily and conveniently buy Levi’s jeans in my size, I decided to try going right to the source: www.levisstore.com.
A few days ago, I flew off the handle and attacked someone on the jewish-boston mailing list for a comment which was meant in jest and which I incorrectly took seriously. I was helped to see the error of my ways by some very polite people, and this morning I sent this apology to the… Read More »
