03.18.09


OKaay. Another three days since the last post. Consistent.
Yesterday was St Patrick's Day. Not that it means a lot (anything) to me, but one of the clues in the NYT crossword was a Jew who wears a hat. The answer was Hasid. Somehow disturbing to me. Will the next clue on the next Christian Saint Day be three letter alternative to "Jew?" the answer is Yid. A very bad word. The Jewish version of the N-word.
And speaking of St. Patrick's Day. Here, in Suffolk County, it is formally Evacuation Day and a city wide holiday. What a clever coincidence? Did the British know what they were starting when they left Boston for Brooklyn Heights, Trenton and beyond ?
