LA can be fascinating. Today is Rosh Hashanah , or, the Jewish New Year. Today as I drove to work and again as I came home I saw a bunch of people in traditional dress (prayer shawls, kippahs/yarmulkes , etc.) walking to I assume temple services. I know next to nothing about Jewish holidays, but I appreciate the effort it takes to follow observances. After all, Mormons have a pretty good handle on certain practices that others find strange. :) I appreciate the moments that remind me what a diverse city I live in.

Remember me?

Yes. I am still alive. No. I am no longer in school and should, theoretically, have more free time. Yes. I do still plan on blogging regularly and still blog stalk friends. No. I still have no access to blogs, facebook, and email at work. AUGH! So, dear readers (especially Heather - I miss you too :)), bear with me if posts seem slow in coming. I will make more faithful efforts to present the details of my life in all its minute and boring detail.
