Yom Kippur Apology


My lovely friends Julia and Katy are putting on a benefit this Thursday night at the Rock & Roll Hotel to fill the coffers at Survivors and Advocates for Empowerment [SAFE], a terrific and local organization that offers round-the-clock support to victims of domestic violence. It’s going be a real neat show and they are offering us a terrific lineup this year. Let it be said however that Julia and Katy are not just party-throwers. These two sacrifice as many evenings and nights’ sleep to their life’s work as any emergency room doctor or director of IT. Found often on the phone and in police stations, they sort out the most unpleasant business of those circumstantially unable to sort it themselves.


Having such cool angel friends who think beyond their own party schedules sure makes me want to apologize for my existence. Or at least atone. Should I be ascribed in the book of life you will likely find me here again next year, repenting for another year lost on gazing at myself in the mirror. While more consideration is necessary on whether I suffer a hereditary flaw of self-absorption, that’s enough about me at this time.


Come show your support for a commendable cause, that needs more support than it is currently getting. Thursday night, Yom Kippur night. The RNR Hotel. (I apologize I won’t be able to make it to the simultaneous religious activities).
