Meet the Fockers
Petra’s parents are coming to New York for a family wedding and will be meeting my parents for the first time. We’ll be hosting Friday night dinner for our parents and brothers. I’ve enjoyed watching my parents get genuinely nervous about meeting their machatunim.

A lot of you have probably heard me put down going to college or graduate school. Well, this is the exception. In fact, it’s so exceptional that you really have no excuse not for taking MIT’s courses regardless of whether you are in high school right now or already in the workforce.
Also, I explain how to overcome common objections like (a)...
Not Last Place
I came in 9,334th place out of 10,167 that finished the Half-Marathon. Hoping for the 8000s next year!
Health insurance is for the weak.

My wife works for the NYC Department of Education. This means she’s a member of a very powerful and effective union. A union that has enabled us to get pretty much the greatest health care plan in the world. When I got my job at the times, it was a no brainer to realize that I’d just go on her plan. When we had a baby, with all the complications and somewhat extended hospital stay, it...

Though I didn’t share this fact publically until now, my Fatty Liver was the main reason I decided...
Six13 @ CitiField
My Jewish vocal band Six13 is singing God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch, as well as performing an 8-minute pre-game set, at the Mets Game on Sunday August 16 as part of their annual Jewish Heritage Day.
I’ll have just ran the half marathon that morning and singing at a baseball stadium seems like an appropriate post-run activity. I hope you can make it.
