Poem: Autumn
It feels like fall here. It’s rainy and quiet out on the balcony. I was inspired. The result is this poem that sounds like it could have been written by a 3-year old doped up on prescription medications.

This week has been a little crazy in the Boykis household because I am having a hectic month at work, Mr. B is having a hectic time with car repairs, and we just genocided a bunch of ants. It has been a crazy week in the world, as well.

Today is September 11. That’s crazy. I can’t believe it’s been eight years since 9/11. I remember when it first happened, I was in 10th grade and didn’t really process what was going on. I thought it was a joke. I still haven’t.

Guest Post: Now Boarding…..rows Aleph thru Zayin
_Note: Can you believe I’m still in Israel? Do you miss me? Ok, so this isn’t really a guest post. It’s more like I bugged Extremely Funny Blogger and Amazing American oleh (immigrant to Israel) Benji Lovitt to write a blog post while I was in Israel, but he was probably too busy being a Big Deal Comedian in Israel to come up with a post (either that, or he didn’t want his name associated with someone who spells humus without a C), so I just stole some of his material from 2006. Enjoy!

»Guest Post: On Being Twenty-Three (And Adopting a New Life Philosophy)
Note: I first met Julie on Twitter, but also in person at our DC Jews Tweetup. Julie is pretty cool because not only does she work in social media, but she eavesdrops on people speaking Russian because many times, they can’t tell that she speaks it. Julie was born in Moscow, Russia and moved to the United States with her mother shortly before the dissolution of the Soviet Union. She spent her formative years in Lexington, Massachusetts and attended the University of Maryland where she earned Bachelors degrees in both International Business and Marketing as well as a minor in French Studies.

Guest Post: Healthcare Reform-Easy as Apple Pie from Scratch
Note: This guest post is by @Krolik, whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in person for coffee before she ran off to her ballet lesson and I ran off, embarassed that I’ve never taken ballet and a bit sad that my parents denied me pink tutus. She has a lovely blog, Project Wombat, about raising her son, and is very funny. I’ve never had political posts before, so let it be said that I don’t necessarily agree or disagree with this post about the healthcare reform issue. All I know is that we need to include Nutella in the bill as a healing elixir.
