not the Ahmadinejacket!

Pesach started off well, as always. I'm sure flying frogs and a slight excess of alcohol (if there is such a thing) helped. However, as the days dragged on, I quickly became sick of a diet of fruits, veggies, eggs, and nuts. My body also seemed to need more...after about 30 flat, easy miles of bicycling on Sunday, I became very fatigued and wondered why, when normally that sort of ride should pose no issue...and I realized that the two apples, a banana, infant sized portion of mashed potatoes, cup of coffee and glass of milk probably wasn't the heartiest diet. It is at moments like that when we consider the important things, the reasons behind why we do what we do. For some, it is easily explained by a strong faith in God (how easy it must be). For others, like myself, of little to no faith, it's got something to do with culture, or tradition, or identity, or something like that...or maybe it's just massochism.

Anyway, the point is, we've all got our "big stuff" to think about. It seems to come out at times of great stress, and it happens on many levels...the pesonal, the community, the political, etc. And at times like these, when it seems that half of the news is about Iran, and there are murmurs of the threat of a new war around the corner, it's time to start asking ourselves the big questions about Iran. Luckily, we've got the New York Post to do it for us.

ps...No, I'm not clever enough to think of the word "ahmadinejacket." Apparently it's really in use.
