Timing is everything. I try to be punctual. I say witty things as soon as I hear someone else say something unwitty ( unless I'm working on self control). Poor timing is the pits.
With all that in mind, I didn't attend the memorial service for the terror victims of Mumbai, Hy'd, last Wednesday because I was 45 minutes late in leaving my house. Today, I decided to be on time and I was at the memorial service @ 9:05. The place was Packed. A rabbi was in the middle of a speech already. I was surprised @ such general punctuality but glad that I made it. Then, 10 minutes later, there was a break for Ma'ariv.
The service was called for 8...But the lesson of fighting bad with good, darkness with light, and loving every Jew still holds true.
Politics is not the point

Where was this?
The one where I arrived fashionably late was @ 1000 E 17th Street...
I was on a bus this afternoon and there was an announcement at 12PM to all buses, couldn't make out the details though, for all buses to go to the curb and observe a minute of silence in memory of something.
I wonder if it was Mumbai or something else...
I think today was the anniversary of the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor. Alternate side parking rules were suspended, too...
