Day 29 likes people of all races, religions and intolerances.

Tonight is the beginning of Rosh Hashana which, for those of you who don't know, is the Jewish new year. Roneet is here and we worked together to make dinner and prepare all the rituals that both our families have. My dear friend Ken came to dinner. Eddie was also there. Ken. Respectful, curious, open-minded Ken. He wanted to wear a kippa and I showed him my vast collection so he could choose one he liked. He picked the one from my bar mitzvah. Eddie, on the other hand, wanted to wear a coffee filter. Ken is welcome back any time he wants. Eddie will be eating alone on the balcony from now on.
