Thanksgiving

“Has English hospitality changed so much that a friend of mine's not welcome at this table?”- Robin Hood Prince of Thieves

I have one message to send to someone who I am certain doesn’t read this blog: GROW UP! There are MANY things you have done in your lifetime that I have not liked but I handled them MATURELY and RESPECTFULLY. I apologize that it is so overwhelmingly difficult for you to approach my decisions with the same consideration. When I was a wriggling pink bundle 29 years ago I hope you didn’t look down at me and say “my, I hope she never makes any independent decisions that go beyond the scope of my own moral values.”

Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? - Shakespeare
