The numbers, they say, don’t lie — and the numbers indicate that I have some new readers! A) Yay! So lovely to have you. B) Please have a look around the place, and check out the About Commenting page. I’d love to have you join the conversation. C) A lot of you are likely here because of that thing that I wrote last week about Israel and American Jews and you’re all, like, dude. She’s writing about birthdays! And Green Day? WTF!
So I just want to say: Don’t go away! I promise that depressing and politically minded posts will come back. Sometimes I do that, sometimes I do this. But I try to keep it honest and interesting, no matter what the “it” of the day may be, and I’m always glad to have new folks about the place.
(And don’t forget to read today’s earlier post! It’s neither depressing nor politically minded, but, well, like I said: That will come back. Pinky swear!)

I personally love it when readers explore the archives, myself.
