Happy New Year

No, it's not January 1, 2012. It's, in fact, 5772. That's right. It's Rosh Hashanah. - Jewish New Year -from from sundown on Sept. 28 to nightfall on Sept. 30.  This a whole different new year than your secular bash with champagne, noise makers and a date you'll regret having the day after. It's about looking within ourselves and back at the past year, the missteps we made and a plan for how to resolve those mistakes - resolutions if you will. Think spiritual wake-up call with the metaphor of the  shofar - or ram's horn which is blown throughout the service - to bring the message home. Check out the shofar flash mob in Chicago.  So shana tovah to all.

Excellent post, Stacy. I'm looking forward to following more... BUT, is there anyway I can get an enlarged view of this Lois Lane comic book cover? That's from the era I was mesmerized by Supeman and his clan - including "Bizarro" world and, b the way, Little Lulu!

Me too. I credit Lois Lane with the reason I became a reporter.
