Some nights food, friends, fun and tradition supersede sitting at the computer alone, surfing far and wide to find the best and the most interesting sites.

We had a Passover feast here, a Seder, and it was fantastic. Everyone brought something to the table and even though I'm not Jewish, it was wonderful to celebrate this holiday with my wife who is. Other gentiles attended as well as others of the Tribe. But one of my favorite moments was after the meal when we all sat around to discuss just exactly what we thought about spirituality, religion and all those complex ideas they always tell you never to bring up in a social setting. We brought them up, and when everyone went home, we were all still great friends.

Passover celebrates a release from bondage and recognizes the difficult times you often have to experience in order to rise above a terrible situation. We are lucky to be as free as we are, even in those times when we feel constrained.
