Welcome to my blog!

The name comes from the Old English word (sabat), which comes to us through Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. It's origin is "to rest", and is etymologically connected to Sabbath and Sabbatical. It seemed appropriate... given my current time of transition. This blog allows a place for personal reflection, shares my whereabouts and happenings, but most importantly - it is a vehicle for your reactions to my submissions. My hope is that, as a group, we have a running dialog pertaining to those things that really matter.

I promise to read each post, but please know that replies may be sporadic and/or delayed. For my plans in the near-future will frequently have me "out of pocket", or I may just need to escape the day-to-day deluge of electronic ping pong . But feel free to submit a post. We are all traveling together on this journey to understand, called life; and each perspective is important.

Let's keep in touch as we share the journey!

Be well,

Sam

Rosh Hashanah

I made made dinner last night, and thought it would be interesting to have a traditional Rosh Hashanah meal.  So we recognized the Jewish New Year with:


  • Apples dipped in honey
  • Challah (round bread loaf)
  • Fish - smoked salmon  (not the traditional fish head)
  • Olives


Actually - Granny Smith apple slices dipped in honey are really delicious.
