New Year’s Eve
Dear Family and Friends,
When I was a young boy my parents purchased a series of literary classics. There must have been one hundred hard bound books, from Defoe to Dickens to Flaubert to Stevenson to I don’t remember who else. My parents hoped that my sister Paula and I would read them all and then “go to the head of the class.”

Dear Stanley,
Thank you for your Yom Kippur e-card with the printed sentiment, "Wishing you an easy fast."
Many of us have been using this greeting for as long as I can remember. We all wish for an easy fast on Yom Kippur. We recall the difficulty of not eating or drinking for twenty-four hours, especially we coffee addicts.
But your additional, special greeting was both a surprise and a challenge: "Enjoy your fast." Enjoy! This was the first time anyone made this suggestion to me. What a great idea. Excellent advice. I accepted the challenge to enjoy my fast this year.
