July 22, 2011Some days, 2:30 pm rolls around and I am not in a very grateful place. Elizabeth Warren, an absolutely brilliant woman and a woman that won’t take s**t from anyone is being denied her rightful job. An asshole wants to pay a million dollars for the first interview with Casey Anthony. My catastrophic major medical insurance sent me a letter announcing they’re increasing their premium by 20%!!! Who gets to raise their prices 20%??? But then it’s time for a … Read the rest
July 18, 2011Water main broke two towns over and got me thinking, as I often do, about water: the importance of it, how we take it for granted, how it seems just so unimportant in the course of our day—it’s just there, like air.

July 14, 2011So I am running this morning at a wonderful park where I live.

Take a moment. Just one moment. The Mincha Moment. … Read the rest
July 7, 2011Met a guy today at the Westside Campaign Against Hunger. Ph.D. in International Law. Wrote a book (in French, and then I think he translated it into English!) which the government there wasn’t crazy about. Now he’s here with his family, including 5 kids, petitioning for political asylum. But where can he work in the meantime? How can he feed his family until the case comes up? Cue the good people at the Westside Campaign.… Read the rest
July 6, 2011A couple of years ago, when David and I were working on one of our very first documentaries as an inimitable team!- I interviewed a lovely woman named Tina, who had grown up in the FSU. When she was entering her teen years, she and her family managed to get the papers and immigrate to the US. When the High Holidays rolled around, she was shocked to see the police direct travel around the temple, helping the usual quiet streets … Read the rest
