Thanks Ted! So glad you got a laugh and a chance to reflect. For the record, no one at the dinner laughed much at that one, but I thought it was funny.
Loved this, Mark. I really appreciate how open you are with your introspection. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why you are writing these essays. If so, you are succeeding!
I appreciate the funny Mark, because he is quite funny. But I'd be happy to meet some of the other Marks that may emerge as we get older. Bring them on.
And by the way, I have had the same jalapeño experience!!! Who knew that we had that in common? I wish I had discovered that milk trick!
I’m Oehme’s upstairs neighbor, Rhoda. I’m so pleased that she thought to recommend your Substack, which I love! We may have a thing or two in common (besides our Oehme).
Good one Rabbi. Shabbat shalom 🙃 💙
Your the third person to tell me that. Perhaps they need warning stickers?
Love this! Vividly remember my burning nose
““Does that cost extra?” I asked, hoping for a laugh.”
Literally laughed out loud.
This essay achieved both: I got the humor public Mark and the present Mark also made me think deeply.
Thank you.

You’re side splitting funny, Mark! I love it. And you, cuz you’re crazy smart and kind too! And you have a beautiful wife to keep you in line 😊
Enjoyed the peeper story a second time!
Thanks Rachael! The video of me telling the story at the restaurant comes out in a few days...

Great snapshot of Morocco and you! Joking or listening, keep the essays coming!
Thanks, Victor! Will do.
Just love your honest writings!!
I think being “fun” is a great gift - thanks for sharing!
You are funny , Mark ! But so much more too - it doesn’t take long to know that about you :) love this one ♥️

Glad to meet another person with private rooms, Rhoda. Glad you liked the essay.
