...crushed and crumpled, fantatical in spurts, bleary-eyed, bitingly sardonic, congested, manic, eaten by ants, less prone to fits of sizzling brilliance, more friendly than before but just as tired, fitter, happier (not) more productive, wanderingstu.com today celebrates its
ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY
It all started on June 30, 2005, with these mildly prophetic words (click the link).
Wow. One hundred and ten entries in a year. More than twice a week. Praise the Lord. And thank you, dear friends, whose readership and support has made this effort worthwhile (both of you). Never one to let down the team, I would say I have done my part in making this year of wanderingstu as turbulent, witty, indecisive, confusing, thrilling and juicy as possible. All that without even touching on the winter's excursion into heartbreak.
In the past year we've protested against the withdrawal from Gaza, found holiness in Rotterdam, danced like Michael Jackson, obsessed about Craig B., quit Reform Rabbinic School, tried to escape Yeshiva, fled to Egypt, cuddled babies, planted flowers, run into Cate Blanchett, scared Southern women, lied about a date with a hot French girl, cussed, bitched, complained and cried, said nice things about my dad and been solicited for easy online college degrees.
So there it is. Looking back, I have to admit that it's the longest consistent effort of productivity and creativity in my life. Thank God. Let's keep it up-- (and I do mean "let's." Your comments are the gas in wanderingstu's engine).
Right now it's 6pm, things are mellow here in the West Bank, although we are technically in the midst of a national crisis. Esta is in Boston with Burt and Marion, and will be hanging out with the Blindermen sometime soon. And you, my friend, you are out there somewhere, living your life, doing your thing, hopefully thinking of me.
Drop a line!
Here's to another great year-- an even better one--- less confusion, more JOY!!!

Mazel Tov on a year of blogging! Many more. Good show of productivity and creativity.
Interesting thought, if I could channel half of my blogging productivity into my job, I would have the most organized desk ever. Oh well. I'd rather have fun blogging.
congratulations on one year of good stuff although sometimes confusing to my older mind however quite entertaining and usually quite loveable and always eloquint but then again I am prejudice. so keep it up and here's hoping definately for a less confusing year of more "stuff". mom
Mazel Tov.....Keep up the great work and uplifting spirit of life...Today I took your Mon and Marion Greek Style. In fact both enjoyed it to tremendous satisfaction. I was greatly satisfied and relieved.....In fact we all finished together....Your Mom did not keep the Bea tradition and did not send it back....A good time was had by ALL. Your friendly PHARRRMACIST
Is my mom safe? What the hell is going on there?
Oh, and happy birthday if I don't talk to you...
lots of good wishes on your second year of blogging.keeps us in touch.
be fulfilled in your chosen life.

Happy 100+ episodes!
I'd say the June 30 entry qualifies as a Flashback/Clips episode.
This season WanderingStu will be due for a visit to Hollywood and a meet-up with the cast from another blog.
I apoligize for the misinterpretation of the Greek Style dinner.. in my previous comment... Tonight it was Chinese at your favorite restaurant....Golden Temple in Brookline.....we seem to be having an eat-a thon......Love Burt, Marion and your Mom Ps What is the new word verification all about????
Congratulations and Happy Birthday! I miss you!
I proposed marriage to Sandrine and spent a month with her between Morocco, France and Portugal. Now I'm starting French classes in the near future and getting ready for big changes!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY and MAZEL TOV. Have many more and have a GREAT DAY
Love Burt and Marion
You say it's your birthday?
Well, it's my birthday too, yeah!
You say it's your birthday?
We're gonna have a good time.
Well, I'm glad it's your birthday.
So, happy birthday to you!
for the record, it is NOT Erik Garcia's birthday. That is a lie.
I never realized this, but his birthday is May 4, exactly two months before that. Jeffrey Weill's is exactly one month after, August 4. J-Justice is the following day, Shoshana Blinderman is the day before, and Josh Keiler and Big Viv are exactly 2 weeks after.
I am well surrounded
