I cut the maps up to cheat distance

[sovay]

I have not attended weekly services of any kind since I was in grad school. My most regular attendance was actually in college. (See also: how I learned to chant Torah in thirteen days when I was twenty-one years old.) That is nearly fifteen years ago now. Daylight Savings falls back and I remember that ma'ariv falls back, too, because now the sun sets an hour earlier. Fridays are all candles and steepening winter darkness from now on until the sun turns around at the solstice. It is interesting the things that stay in your head, the things that don't.

Wouldn't it be great if we could really do that, cut maps to cheat distance? I guess it's a more violent form of tesseract.

The common narrative is that people fall off with their religious observances when they go to college, but that's all that is: just a common narrative. I can think of many reasons why a person might go the other direction. What do you think it was in your case? (If you feel like saying; I don't ask to pry, just out of friendly curiosity.)

What do you think of the idea to have New England be part of the Atlantic time zone?

And yes, it's interesting what stays in your head and what doesn't . . . I say that with trailing-off ellipses because what does stay isn't always what I'd choose to have stay, and what goes often is stuff that I wish remained.
