@RJM - In the United States adultery, in approximately 1/3 of the states, is, in fact, a crime which may lead to incarceration.

Tonight begins Shavuot - the Festival of Weeks - what some would call Pentecost. It’s a short holiday. I’ll be back soon.

@Thinking required - I have an agenda? And what, in your considered opinion, do you believe that agenda to be?

The big O is the first letter of my last name. Some younger students called me that and the name stuck.
