WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

A wise woman once said: excellent people discuss ideas, mediocore people discuss events, inferior people discuss other people. This blog will be devoted mostly to ideas that I teach and write about. Ocassionally I will throw in some travel, recipes, movie reviews or other quirky indulgences. Since the state of our world and efforts to mend it are never far from my consciousness, you will also find some "current events" features under "tikkun olam." Please feel free to add your comments. Definitions: Midlife--Too late to do anything really new; too late not to.

Little Mosque on the Prairie

In the last month, the N.Y.Times has carried two stories about a sitcom that openned in Canada, produced by the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company). This does not usually happen. Little Mosque on the Prairie has attracted huge media attention because it is so unusual--a light hearted look at Muslim life in a small town in the middle of Canada. A Muslim woman wrote the series and the immams in Canada have been, for the most part, enthusiastic. I am particularly excited about this show because my brother was involved in the production and has strongly promoted it from his position in CBC.

p.s. This is the first and probably the last time I will post about a television show.
