Your Pre-Algebra: Remonstrations

A sphere it is...a blogosphere!

Yesterday I received a package with 12 handwritten letters and photographs from students at P.S. 345 in East New York for my donation that enabled them to purchase non-fiction readers which will help with literacy and history studies. (From Columbus to Jefferson, this is for you Don Geiss!) For any project at Donors Choose that you make a minimum contribution of $100, they arrange this "thank you" package once it is fully funded. As the moral comp-ass/weather vain/barackobameter of the NYC blogerati, I urge you all to make a difference today. I have.

On that hope-for-children note, Amanda Stern moderates a three-kid panel that reviews three new works of Jewish-themed young adult fiction.

On that Hebraic note, Eli Valley gives Batman and Robin a Jewish maker-over.

On that crusading note, I've gone on two morning runs this week. My fatblogging mission has begun.

On that load-of-crap note, I would like to sincerely apologize to Emily of Gawker for my colleague's remark here. 99 is a real asshole. So, you free tonight?

And on that stercus accidit note, as promised, here's a mildly-retarded looking picture of me taken around 1973-4. Apparently my dad and I were wrestling when he "accidently" threw me out of a window. I shrugged it off, badass that I was, and didn't see a doctor for another week. Then they put me in this ridiculous sling which made it hard to drink on the neighbor's porch with old people.
