Carl Sagan a Stoner?

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Not that I in anyway condone the use of marijuana in any manner, but can you believe Sagan, a pot head! This account was written in 1969 for publication in Marihuana Reconsidered (1971). Sagan was in his mid-thirties at that time. He continued to use cannabis for the rest of his ...

News Years

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Moshe took his first big road trip to Seattle, where we celebrated News Years with Ben and Tammy. A great time was had by all, although not without our share of fussing during the drive.  We didn't exactly party the night away, as a matter of fact, none of ...

what did I get myself into

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

I thought starting a family blog would be all fun and games, but then I realized that certain expectations get set, grandparents get anxious, well, you can imagine the rest (see my last post date). For the sake of being brief, it's 10:30 and Moshe could start crying at any ...
