Hate it Here - Ongoing
Like my friend Melissa said, "Back in Boston, they'd never schedule prom on Passover." Elizabeth Levine made the right choice.
Besides, I hear prom is overrated. Of course...I wouldn't know for sure. I never attended mine.
But my friends went. Julie got arrested. Cathy's date was two hours late and passed out in illegal narcotics before the end of the evening. Becky's date won "Cutest Couple" - with someone else.
I didn't miss much.
What's unfortunate here is that Jewish kids in Colorado Springs who'd *like* to attend school-sanctioned events too often have to choose between a religious ritual with family and what is, for some, a fun and exciting rite-of-passage with friends.
Like I said, Elizabeth Levine made the right choice. She'll have more fun at a seder Saturday night, anyway. Cause nothing says "good times" like remembering slavery and celebrating when God killed all those Egyptian kids.
What a town.

If you hate it here so much, why do you stay? Seriously. Why put yourself through all this angst and fury?
You know, I just looked at my Outlook Calendar, which I use for everything work and personal and they do not have any Jewish holidays listed.
When I say "hate", I don't mean the angst and fury hate. That emotion is reserved only for Karl Rove and whoever invented fish sticks.
Instead, I mean the kind of annoyed and irritated hate - like the kind of hate you feel for a boil on your butt or anonymous posts. And apparently Outlook Calendar.
Fish sticks are good, if you fix them right. They're only bad if you let them get soggy.
And if you don't like anonymous posts, then don't blog. :shrug: It's like a way of life in the blogging world.........
