Ross Tulman’s recipe for the ‘Shabbas Sandwich’

| February 5, 2010

This was my post from the Herzl Alumni Blog this month.  Check out the rest of what past Herzl staff have to say at http://blog.herzlcamp.org. Throughout my tenure on staff, there has been one standard: Shabbas is best celebrated with Ross Tulman.  Of the 60 Shabbatot I’ve experienced at Herzl, at least 27 of those were [...]

Nothing Says “Happy Valentine’s Day” like Slippery When Wet underwear

| January 29, 2010

Why do I love Bon Jovi?  Well, besides the obvious of course?  Because I get emails from the official Bon Jovi store urging me to “Make a Memory” and purchase  my loved ones Bon Jovi gifts for Valentines Day.  Unfortunately, something tells me Dana doesn’t want a pink scarf featuring lyrics from Jon’s best love ballads, or an autographed [...]

Ingrid its your Birthday, Happy Birthday Ingrid!

| January 15, 2010

For those of you who don’t know, Ingrid is my partner in crime these days.  We work together, we travel together, we drive together, we live together, we eat together, we cry together, we die together!  We spend waaaaay too much time together, so she gets a special shout out here.  Happy birthday Ingie, I [...]

A friend sent me this e-card and I had to laugh.  Happy New Year to all my chosen brethren, and to everyone else … you can celebrate too!

Happy Independence Day (tomorrow)!

| July 3, 2009

I hope you have the day off work today.  I hope the weather is nice enough to sit outside.  I hope you are topping off that sit with a cold beer in hand.  And I hope you enjoy a wonderful summer day, reflecting on life and spend time with your friends and family.  Because unless [...]

DUUUUUUUDE! 28?! When did we get so old…

| June 13, 2009

Back in the magical summer of 2004, the world around me changed.  Summer camp had a meaning beyond just “Herzl”, a college degree didn’t really feel worth as much as I’d paid for it, hair was beginning to grow in new places, and planets collided when two of the biggest dorks known to man joined forces [...]

Caleb and Uncle Neiman’s morning fun

| June 12, 2009

Because of Andy and Amber’s wedding this weekend (woo hoo!), I stayed at Devorah and Kevin’s place last night.  It was fun hanging out at night like usual, but I forgot how much fun the morning is here with the boys.  Devorah had to go grocery shopping and left my chunky nephew with me for [...]

weekend travels and wedding shambles

| June 9, 2009

This weekend is Fra Andy Huston’s wedding.  Which means I won’t be coming home this weekend, and therefore won’t be in MN for about 2 weeks.  Traveling for work is fun, but trying to go away for something like this does make it slightly irritable at times.  Besides the obvious of being away from all [...]
