TAX CUT TODAY?

Our President, Donald Trump, and the Republican Party are about to 'make good' on a promise to change our tax code. Naturally, there are some people who are unhappy. I believe that this is going to be good for America. Everyone knows that the fairest tax code of all would be a simple code where every American pays the same rate, for example 10% of income. We are not there yet, but I am convinced that the new tax law will be an improvement for many Americans. Every single day, I wake up to some new good news emanating from the White House. I understand why Democrats, Liberals and Lefties don't like Donald Trump. The mystery remains, why are there so many so-called Republicans and Conservatives who cling to their enmity for this man? One theory: Donald Trump is governing like a true conservative, very few people believed durning the campaign that he was a conservative. Apparently, Trump was very honest about his core beliefs. I admit that I was surprised. Pleasantly surprised, but surprised nevertheless.

THAT WAS FAST

That was fast. Actually it was not fast. However it was a fast. During the 24 hour period from the end of dinner on Tuesday night until after sundown on Wednesday evening, I was fasting (along with my daughter) for Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is the Jewish Holiday known as the Day of Atonement. All through the years as my interest and involvement in Judaism has waxed and waned, I have almost always fasted on this day. My daughter and I walked to our synagogue for services, and that walk was nearly 7 miles. It started to sprinkle about two miles shy of our destination, so we did what would have been expected. We continued to walk and got a bit wet. We were 'rescued' after services when my wife offered to come pick us up. It was raining much harder then, the temperature had dropped and now it seemed bone chillingly cold, so that 'rescue ride' was much appreciated. It was 'fun' to fast with my daughter. I am proud of her for fasting with me. Probably the reason that I started fasting was that I chose to join my parents in fasting for this holiday when I was about the age that my daughter is now. This is how traditions transcend the generations.

My daughter and I did not set any speed records walking the 6.7 miles to synagogue for Yom Kippur. In fact, we were walking as slowly as we could as we were both dressed in our best clothes, not dressed for urban hiking. The walk was a bit less enjoyable when it started to sprinkle with nearly two miles to go. We managed. We survived. All we did was get a bit wet.
