Vengeful tractors and biting sheep
Help, the vengeful tractors are trampling the biting sheep! Somebody help the rock n' rollers of Israel come up with better band names.

This is what I do...
The Wall Street Journal came to the Medicare Rights Center to do a story on how we advise people at this time of year, which is the only time that people with Medicare can switch their drug coverage plan. Here is a little video clip from the office.
We're famous! You can see my back for a second (I'm the person moving in the rolling office chair in the back). They told us all to sit in the hotline area for the filming, but I was actually on a call with a client so I went late...
But this is actually what I do--I'm staying late on Mondays through the end of December because another employee and I are overseeing a group of volunteers who come in to do "Plan finders" with our clients (i.e. they search for new drug plans for clients based on their specific needs). Now it should all make sense to you :)

Fall leaves and Jewish boxers
I spent this past Shabbat with my fellow Avodahniks in autumnal Connecticut. Okay, the leaves were a little past their prime and it rained all day Saturday but it was still pretty nice. Here's a pic from the train on the way back on Sunday:
In other news, check out this article about an aspiring rabbi who is also a boxer. As my roommate Alison was showing me this article, I realized that I had Shabbat lunch with this guy two weeks ago! Where, you might ask. At Chabad, of course. Talia and I went to the Chabad in Carrol Gardens two weeks ago (very well disguised as a place called Iyyun. Doesn't sound Chabad-y to me), and we stayed for Shabbat lunch and sat directly across from this guy! I know, we are pretty cool.

Latest Shabat on Earth
Traveling back already -- as soon as shabat ends. We're probably the last Jews in the world making and ending shabat. Unless someone observant is on Midway Island, nothing is to the west of us. Shabat will be half over in Israel when we light candles here. Ilana will be at daf yomi shiur on Sunday when we make havdala. (I calculated you can't travel farther than Israel-here.)
Shabat shalom / shavua tov from the last shabos table on Earth.

View from the Pacific
So enough with all the wedding nonsense. While Baba, Ilana, Alisa and everyone have been terrific with planning next month's simcha, we all know that really there are more important things in life. Like births, such as this:
That's the birth of the earth. You can see it if you ride roads like this:
And finally, there is learning. Recent daf yomi discussed lots of big fish tales the rabbis told about the ones that got away. I think they may have been referring to this one (viewer discretion advised), viewable by snorkel at night:
Much more from the Big Island, first part of our trip, on picasa. Love from Hawaii!
