The Half-Jewish Network weighs in on Breyer, (and it's good!)

I was delighted to receive several e-mails from the Half-Jewish Network, commending me on the recent episode of Kyle's B&B that continues the story of Breyer's exploration of his Jewish & Irish-Catholic heritage. I wasn't aware of the group before this, but after looking at their website, (www.half-jewish.net), it was quite educational to learn about the range of issues that children of Jewish interfaith marriage, (marriages where one of the parents is Jewish and one isn't), face. In particular, the "Who Is A Jew?" page at their website shows the variety of factors involved.

I've received a lot of very warm e-mails from readers over the past year or so who are children of Jewish interfaith marriages, who are really grateful to see this aspect of their lives explored in the comic strip. Well, it's an honor for me to do so, and I'm quite flattered that the Half-Jewish Network feels that I've captured this issue with accuracy. And I hope you'll visit their website if you get a chance!

October is Here!

Temperatures are dropping just a bit as we head into this new month. There's a crispness in the air, and the leaves are just beginning to change color. In honor of the arrival of October here in the Northeast, (and the cooler weather & foliage changes that it brings), I thought I'd post a few pics of one of my trips to Vermont, (from last October, 2006). With all of these, you can click on them to see them at a larger size.

The first pic, (above), is from a lovely little town called Danby in southwestern Vermont, just a bit north of Manchester. This area is particularly gorgeous in the way that the farms are squeezed into the narrow, rolling valleys between the mountains.

















The second pic is also from Danby, just a bit further south down the same road as the last pic. I wonder if the cows notice the gorgeous fall foliage blazing on the mountains behind them?













This next pic, (above), is from East Dorset area, just a bit south of Danby, along the famed Route 7.









Finally, I think I saved the best one for last. You really need to see this large, (click on it), to fully appreciate the gorgeous Fall colors. This one's actually from October, 2004, taken along Route 100, in the Waitsfield/Warren area, (also known as the Mad River Valley). When you see these Fall colors in real life, it's so gorgeous that these pics can't even do it justice. But enjoy, anyway.... and maybe make a trip to Vermont yourself this Fall!
