Today is little Purim – that is, because we add an extra month to our yearly lunar calendar every once in a while, and we celebrate the holiday on the second month, but the real holiday is on the first month, we call it little Purim.  Nothing like messing with reality.  

Anyway, even though I feel like shit I’ve got the family over to celebrate.  costumes and everything.  But they have no idea, because no body pays attention to this holiday.

And I’ve got the definite feeling that since Purim is about turning everything upside down, and we’re totally upside down anyway in our values, it’s appropriate.

After all, this is also the anniversary of Baruch Goldstein’s massacre of praying Arabs in the Maarat HaMachpela, when good became evil and the Oslo Agreements were demolished.  

Let’s try to make something good out of evil tonight.
