From the sands of the east coast of Florida to a little corner of Connecticut...and beyond.

To all those that wear a whistle as part of an avocation...

Merry Christmas...and a Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year.

There was a comic I saw on the net that showed a group going door to door caroling. They were singing, "We wish you a merry Christmas. Here's a cup if you want to tip us."

BTW - Happy Hanukkah everyone.

While I love the Maccabeats and this is a great video, it's been criticized for a surprising mistake. In the scene in which they light the menorah, they don't use the shamash (the ninth candle in the middle which is used to light the other eight candles) but a tenth candle that is not part of the menorah. It's a pretty basic concept they get wrong.

Maybe it's the director's fault.

Blame the table. They should have sounded the horn!

PS - how many dreidels does a game need?

Funny how Conan O'Brien, an Irish-American Catholic, got it right.
