We’re about to enter the High Holidays. Rosh Hashanah is supposed to be about new beginnings. At least I hope it is.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Adam and Eve and that red apple. They were tricked into eating it by the snake. By someone who smiled and said it would be fine, that nothing bad would happen. Look how that turned out.

My mother will look at me and say, “That shirt doesn’t look good on you. It doesn’t hide your stomach enough.” When I tell her that’s not nice, she answers, “I’m not being mean. I’m just being honest.”........
