Today’s parsha at Synagogue starts a VERY lengthy description of the buliding of the Mishkan (or Tabernacle). The Mishkan housed the Ark of the Covenant (shades of Indiana Jones) and in Hebrew means residence or dwelling place (for God).
As Amy in the Big Bang Theory pointed out to Sheldon, Indiana Jones actually was irrelevant to the plot of the first Indiana Jones since even if he was not there, they would have found the Ark, opened the Ark and all died anyway, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OZ7WsALu_8.
The rest of the day will be spent working on AMARC and blogs. Tonight is the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra at Strathmore where we will see Charlie Chaplin movies with the BSO playing along with the silent movies.
In my continuing series of evidence that either I (or the world) are out-of-sync, is a review in the Washington Post about Korean Fried Chicken, http://www.washingtonpost.com/goingoutguide/kochix-where-korean-fried-chicken-gets-a-sticky-open-ended-approach/2014/01/29/17ba7c7a-7f69-11e3-9556-4a4bf7bcbd84_story.html?tid=auto_complete, which starts with the sentence: When most Washingtonians think of Korean fried chicken, two syllables immediately leap to mind: BonChon. Do most Washingtonians actually think about Korean fried chicken? Who knew.
Earlier this week, we got to see Bill Cosby at Strathmore using tickets provided by my older daughter whose office was involved in setting up the tour. He was hilarious as usual, all new material (at least to me). He just sat down and talked for somewhat over two and one-half hours about experiences growing up, really remarkable.
