L'shanah tovah

For a good year.

Tomorrow I'll go do tashlich. I go to a body of running water, which much easier in my neighborhood than it is in, say, Arizona. I walk maybe a quarter of a mile to get to a sizeable creek and cast the crumbs from my pockets into the water, as if casting away my sins. I love doing this.

Well what I do is put two cookies in my pocket, eat the cookies, and then clean out the crumbs. :)

I think I'd need bigger pockets.

That was a cookie in your pocket? I thought you were just happy to see me.

If I threw what was in my pocket *rummages around*
it would be;
a) an arrestable offence
b) an environmental hazard
c) a crying waste of good food
d) grounds for divorce
