Have a Good Rosh Hashanah / Ramadan!

(By the way, this entry will be number 4983 for this blog. Another 17 and I’ll have posted an even five thousand since starting this thing back in November 2001.)

One more entry before I call it a day: today is both the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year (it’s 5767 in the Jewish calendar), and Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting. Everyone, and I mean everyone seems to be wishing the world a simultaneous happy Rosh Hashanah and Ramadan, and so do I. Have a good one!

My wife Wendy, the Ginger Ninja, is Jewish, so I made sure to bring home some apples, and I fixed her a New Year’s dinner with an appetizer of stuffed hot peppers and a main course of seared salmon in seafood spices and a couscous salad. I also brought home a movie she’s being dying to watch — Stick It — and the American Idol game for the PlayStation 2.
