See you know you’re a fan of a TV show when you bring it to dinner. Well not quite TO dinner as I doubt that I’d have enough room or food for everybody in the cast (however if they call and reserve a table we can seat most with 24 hrs notice...just in case they happen to be in the area). More to the point, last Wednesday, we brought the themes of LOST to our Passover Seder, much to the chagrin of 75% of those in attendance. It turns out a very thoughtful fellow blogger, Esther Kustanowitz on the site Idol Chatter, posted “The 10 Ways Passover is Like Lost.” Well once I found it (a few hours before everybody showed up) I knew it had to find it’s way into the haggada, just before the break for dinner. Sure most people moaned and groaned but I don’t care. It’s my house and my seder...you don’t like it...go to the White House.
Hats off to Prince Fielder of the Milwaukee Brewers for one of the classier moves I’ve seen on Sports Center. Literally. After Reed Johsnon of the Cubs robbed Fielder of a sure home run, Fielder comes back to the dugout and actually tips his hat to Johnson. No cursing, no obscene gestures, no fastballs to the head. Class. I guess that’s that you’d expect from an overweight vegetarian.
And finally, Congratulations to the Obama family on their new dog, Bo. Bo is a Portuguese water dog and does has two things that rank him ahead of the previous canine occupants of the White House. 1) He’s not a wussy dog like Barney and 2) He doesn’t have a wussy name like Barney. ‘Nuff Said.
Last night we had our second sedar at a friend’s house and he, like many of you who also split the bread of affliction, use the good old holiday standard, The Maxwell House Company Haggadah.
It turns out that you are not alone.
None other then the President of the United States also follows the story of Exodus using one. The First Family held a White House sedar yesterday for staff and their family’s over at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
While we don’t know who’s brisket recipe was served or if the matzo balls were sinkers or floaters, one thing is for sure. Based on this picture the leader of the free world really likes singing “Dyanu”
The list of things I ate at sundown last night to break the “fast” (in order):
