...serving up your daily dish.
Paul Zalewsky snags a picture of Project Graduation in Glen Ridge -- a Pirates of the Caribbean-esque all-night extravaganza financed by endless fundraisers throughout the year. Tonight was graduation.
In addition to graduation and Willie/Bob, the Metropolitan Opera played in Brookdale Park and over at Temple Ner Tamid in Bloomfield, they bid farewell to Cantor Jessica Epstein, who resigns her post to become a full-time mommy was snagged by Temple B'nai Abraham in Livingston to work part-time. (Lucky them!)

We happened to leave Trumpets night club Thursday night just as a procession of very noisy buses drove down Grove St. Was that it? Anybody have pictures? Send them in on the tips line. Tips-at-Baristanet-dot-com.

All mommies are full-time, regardless of outside employment, or the lack thereof. There has got to be a better term for that, and SAHM isn't it.

I've been away a few days as my son was one of the GR graduates on Friday. It was a classy ceremony, and the Project Graduation is a wonderful idea, frankly.
With respect to the earlier thread about move up day- this is much ado about NOTHING folks!
The initiation is OPTIONAL- involves a lot of messy foods and nothing else.
Kids who opt NOT to be initiated (including both of mine) do NOT suffer in any way. It is a silly little tradition, nothing else.
Everyone needs to (as my kids would say) take a chill pill...
Lastly, to link the awful rape from years ago, to the group of kids I have come to know through my own children is beyond lame, and unfair.
GR is not perfect. But it is pretty damn nice place to live and the kids I have met (there have been a LOT) are pretty neat.
