I'd just like to relay a newspaper item to you and your readers. Apparently, park officials are reporting that Eastern European immigrants are raiding parks and making off with the swans. Somehow it amuses me to think that while Her Majesty sits amongst exalted company, in palatial surroundings, dining on this most illustrious fare, in a park somewhere, perhaps only a few minutes down the road, an entire family is gathered round the fireside, digging into a banquet of barbecued swan. In these trying times we're all up for a bit of equality. By all accounts, as with so many things in life, it takes like chicken.leilanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141014.post-76018617630882347712010-04-03T21:45:58.566-04:002010-04-03T21:45:58.566-04:00Deb:

That was something I got from my father, even if nowadays it is not the fashion on Orthodox circles. So on the football field, the squash court, or on the river you will not have seen me trying to keep my kipa on my head. <br /><br />The only exception will have been on Purim where we had a whole day of sport and fun and then indeed I will have kept my kipa on as I did all kind of strange things, like a pillow fight on a boat in the middle of the lake. And I guess that's what you recall.<br /><br />JeremyRabbi Jeremy Rosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723608669485173271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141014.post-27255804831033769262010-04-02T13:00:02.267-04:002010-04-02T13:00:02.267-04:00Leila:

This is great. Something I can reall...Dear R.Rosen,<br />This is great. Something I can really relate to.<br />Firstly, I'm glad to hear that you are still running. <br />What can I say?<br />"Now I have observed that I am more than twice as likely to be struck by as female runner as a male. And I wonder why."<br />Ditto. But I'm vain enough to think that it is their way of saying they are attracted to me! So that's my final answer!<br />Worst than being bumped into by female runners is the disrespect given to all runners by women drivers. I (we, including male and female running friends that have discussed this) have noticed that men are more likely to wait at road junctions etc than women for runners, and invariably it's a woman driver that seems awfully close, too often!<br />Shabbat shalom, Chag Semeach and run safely.<br />Martin BUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103206840883435036noreply@blogger.com
