私は、幸せに引退した弁護士です。3 人の可愛いけれど要求の多い子供たちの用事を済ませたり、毎週木曜日に第二次世界大戦の二世退役軍人のために昼食を作ったり、靴下の人形やビーズのアクセサリーを作ったり、3 匹の犬、ウサギ、スキニー ピッグの後始末をしたり、レイキを学んだり、小動物が許してくれるならマッサージしたりして過ごしています。ブログを更新すべきなのに、Facebook で人の悪口を言うのにあまりにも多くの時間を費やしています。ああ、時々、呼吸をしたり、寝たり、子供たちに食事を与えたりすることも忘れません。

Now that Christmas is over (albeit our family is in the final day of Chanukah), a powerful force has taken over our house and fills every moment with anxiousness and anxiety. This demon sweeps over us every year yet somehow, we are never prepared for it. What is it? Why, preparations for New Years of course. If you are not a Buddhahead, you will probably think I am nuts and wonder why anyone would be so terrified by the prospect …

Even though I will always manage to work into any conversation that two of my three children are in the photo book Mixed Kids by Kip Fulbeck, sometimes it is very difficult to be a Jewpanese family in Hawaii. It is particularly tough going when it is the holidays and you are trying to leave out any sort of Christian essence to keep the peace in a Buddhist and Jewish household of five. Even more so when you are trying …
