If youre speaking body parts, Im not prepared to comment about them on a site my daughter knows I post to, and, if she were to apply her considerable intelligence, she could fairly quickly discern who I am.

My little brothers (twins) will be freshmen at her school next year. She'll be a sophomore, right?

...and what is your favorite alcoholic beverage?
piece

difficult to say. I dont drink a lot, but I enjoy a fairly wide variety of such beverages. Most commonly wine, where my bias is towards fruity California style wines, esp Cabs, Red Zins, and Chardonnays. Or beer, where im none too knowledgeable, but enjoy the darker and more full bodied beers. Ive also enjoyed Port on rare occasions, and as reported here, have dabbled with cider.

I dont drink hard liquor much, but Ive enjoyed brandies, liquers, and scotch/canadian/whiskey - again, i know far too little about single malt scotch. Not a huge fan of cocktails.

4. I will no longer entertain questions about sexuality (other than those involving larger public or ethical issues, like treatment of gays) Judaism treats sexuality as a primarily private matter, and I think perhaps we have gone too far in the other direction in modern society.

The alcoholic beverage question is good.

If all goes well. Shes been struggling a bit in English, and mucho in Math (shes in Algebra 2, which may have been a mistake). But she looks to be pulling down good grades, if not stellar, in Tech, Bio, and Japanese. (second quarter is just over) And this quarter she did winter guard, so she finally wasnt spending ALL her time on homework. And she feels more a part of the school now. Shes hoping next quarter, without Guard, to do even better academically. Mr Glazer the principal, seems less gung ho for heaps of homework, and to be generally more progressive than the old principal, which makes us glad, but that seems to be taking time to seep down to the teachers and the counseling staff.

another factoid wrt alcoholic beverages.

I rarely get inebriated these days, and didnt do so often even when I was younger. But when I DID do so, i had a tendency to begin to babble in French.

Economic and financial analysis for a Federal agency, which will go unnamed.

Ive only been there a few years - before that I worked in consulting, and before that in private industry.

At what point in your life (age-wise) did you become involved in the Global Zionist Conspiracy?

Also: How does this compare to other Jews? Is there a separate protocol for Jews living in 'Israel', versus those born in Europe or the US?

Ha ha. I remember folks raising money for Israel in the lobby of the catering hall at my older brothers Bar Mitzvah, which was in June 1967. I remember coming home from junior high school and immediately turning on the radio to get the latest in October 1973. Ive been a Zionist as long as I can remember having any political consciousness.

During the 1970s Tudor England was all the rage. My family and I watched Masterpiece theater on Public Broadcasting, including "Elizabeth R" and "The Six Wives of Henry the Eighth" We also saw Mary Queen of Scots at the movies. Like we couldnt get enough of Glenda Jackson. Now in those shows everybody is lord of this, duke of that. So my dad, who had a playful sense of humor, gave me a string of titles. Which I embellished. Im not sure which of us came up with Lord of the Mark, though I read Tolkien, and he didnt. When it came time to register here, it seemed natural.

why do you always intervene in geo-political/ international relation between states politics debate attempting to make some incredibly deep and foresighted point, only to have it always seem to miss the mark, so to speak
