TGIF!

TGIF

Thank God its Friday!

Happy Hanukkah!

It may seem a little late, but this year, I made it my mission to really celebrate the festival of lights.  So, my girlfriend and I got a Menorah, some candles, some dreidels, and some Latkahs and went for it!
Each night, the prayers were said, some psalms were read, and we covered our heads.  We listened to some Hanukkah carols (which amounted to Matisyahu, Adam Sandler, and the Beastie Boys).  There was something sweet about all of it, and Menorah got more beautiful with each night.  We also exchanged gifts, and that was fun.  They were smaller ones, but it was nice being able to share something every night with each other.
 
Getting into it this year, I had a nice thought: I'm probably the first Wolff to celebrate Hanukkah in who knows how many years.  The last Wolff in our family to be Jewish, was my Great Grandfather Leslie Wolff.  But, he married a catholic, and that was the end of it...
But This year, we got back to it.  Not just me, but my sister did as well.  This could be the start of a trend.
So what did I think of it?  I like it.  It's a refreshing ceremony to be a part of that celebrates a historic re-dedication.  I felt like I rededicated myself to some things.  Will I be celebrate it next year?  Absolutely.

I'm only never posting on this blog

I'm Only Never Posting on this Blog

An Update.

Well Hello there.  
It's impressive, and even fascinating, that I have been doing this blog for only one year.  It feels like a lot longer of an interval than that.  You might not count it as a full year, what with the aparent lack of posts for much of that second half. But that is something I plan to change.
There will be some changes to the posts I do.  I feel like I stressed way to much over the length of posts and getting this and that done for it.  I think I'm going to take it in a fresh direction... which means I'm winging it.
There should be more posts to come, sooner rather than later, and I'll start now with... I don't know, I'll get back to you.
I'll end with a Ralph Macchio signed VHS copy of "Karate Kid."
See you On Wednesday.
