In direct contravention of my wife's explicit instructions, herewith I inaugurate my first blog. Long may it prosper.

For some reason, I think I have something to say to you. You think you have something to say to me? Email me at: gideonsblogger -at- yahoo -dot- com

 
Well, the bris was yesterday, and things are just barely returning to what will in the future be the new normal around the house. Moses Eli Millman (in Hebrew Moshe Elisha ben Noach Gideon v' Rivkah) was incredibly well-behaved yesterday, the mohel was extremely professional (his name is Rabbi Gerald Chirnomas, if anyone out there is in the market for one), his grandparents (and great-grandparents!) gushed appropriately and the guests ate the copious food with gusto. A successful bris all around!

I hope I haven't lost all of my readers with the recent hiatus. I have been pretty out of the loop on news lately, but it doesn't look like anything important happened - it's not like we're at war with Iraq yet or anything. I'll be blogging some Days-of-Awe related stuff over the next few days, but don't be surprised if the news-related or policy-related stuff is thin on the ground.
