Maybe I should remember to put a title on my posts

Looks like I forgot the title on the last couple of posts.  This is just more stuff that I gotta try to remember.  It's bad enough that I gotta try to remember to post something, or maybe anything.   Now I gotta have a title too.  sheesh!

Anyway Friday the 3rd, was a pretty do nothing day.  We ran over to the grocery store in late morning.  Bumped into James' friend Ryan and chatted for a few minutes.  Then came home and I made clam chowder from scratch.  I should have used more clams in it, but already had one big can of the silly things, it just needed even more.  Remind me one of these days to try doing a video of makin' this.

For dinner, a salmon filet baked with butter and lime slices.  Another one that should be a video.

I watched a bunch of videos from https://www.youtube.com/user/JewishHistoryDotOrg

Funny but I am Catholic, so why watch this?  Pretty simple really, Jesus was a Jew!  Also, I grew up with many Jews, my dad's partner, Kurt Loser was Jewish, and almost half my grade school class was Jewish.  I used hear alot about them, and have always had some interest in that group of people.  Should one think of Jews as a group of people because of "race" or "ethnicity", or should one think of them as a religion in the same way one thinks of Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Budist?  I don't know.  But this Rabbi Wein gives nice short explanations of the Jewish people that are easy to understand.

I remember hearing that Kurt Loser's family had been in the wine business in Germany before the war, WWII that is.  Anyway he was smart enough to realize that Hitler was not going to be good for Germany and "escaped" or emigrated to the US, leaving Germany only three days after Hitler became chancellor in 1933.  I don't remember much else of the story,  my dad had told it when I was quite young.  But anyway Dad and Kurt both ended up being sales reps for WH Kranz comany in Milwaukee, and eventually broke off on their own to form Lohall Enterprises.   That is another long story that I will save for another day.
