Judean Rose: October 2013

http://judeanrose.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

At Judean Rose you get a little bit of this and a little bit of that: food, politics, cognitive science, genealogy, religion, education, and family are all grist for my (writing) mill. Thursday, October 24, 2013. Once upon a time, Microsoft Spell Check told me I spelled my name wrong. Except it wasn’t once, but many times. No matter how often I ignored that wavy red line, it came right back, whenever I typed my name in WORD. And what the heck is “Verda” anyhow? She was just this random woman who sent me ...

Sunday, November 2, 2014. There are All Kinds of Grief I Suppose. I wonder too, about how my friend’s grief affects her family dynamic. Does her husband prefer to turn inward, rather than air his feelings? Does he feel as though he failed his biological purpose by not protecting his family from harm? And something called &...

At Judean Rose you get a little bit of this and a little bit of that: food, politics, cognitive science, genealogy, religion, education, and family are all grist for my (writing) mill. Tuesday, January 28, 2014. The Day the Soup Ran Out. Though I long to stay in bed, I force myself up and out of my soft, warm, flannel cocoon. It is a kind of a test: am I well enough to work today—to cook and do housework? The soup has run out and I need soup, as any mom knows, and I’m a mom and surely know this&#46...

Tuesday, July 7, 2015. Of Sabras and Spats and Other Three-Week Stuff. The sabra is a prickly pear native to Israel. Here is a photo of a sabra. Because Israelis are tender at the core. I'm not a sabra, because I wasn't born in Israel. And yet, in a lot of ways I fit the description. People tend to see me as a toug...On th...

Judean Rose: Repairing the Rent in the Walls

At Judean Rose you get a little bit of this and a little bit of that: food, politics, cognitive science, genealogy, religion, education, and family are all grist for my (writing) mill. Thursday, July 9, 2015. Repairing the Rent in the Walls. You can avoid elective surgery and push it off to September. But there is nothing you can do about the terrible karma all around you. Tempers get short. People get nasty with each other. It's in the air. Everything feels acute, more raw. More real. Something like Zeu...

Sunday, July 12, 2015. The Liberal Ethos of Intolerance. Indulge me for a moment and imagine me wanting to be friends with someone who voted for Obama. If you know me, you realize it's insane, because nothing is more important to me than Israel. And that was fine with me. There was still plenty left for us to base a fr...

At Judean Rose you get a little bit of this and a little bit of that: food, politics, cognitive science, genealogy, religion, education, and family are all grist for my (writing) mill. Sunday, April 19, 2015. Video: Michael Douglas On Antisemitism. I watched this clip this morning. And I couldn't help but think: What useless angst! Why should someone who is NOT JEWISH suffer due to antisemitism? But what does it do for someone like Michael Douglas or his son Dylan? I know. I'm just nasty. *sigh*. It's to...
