Snow (Jan 20 2005 00:58 GMT) - We had our first real snow today. It didn't add up to much, maybe an inch. But it sure was nice to be able to drive in a straight line. This is the first year I've owned a 4x4 truck. My Mustang sucks in the snow. |

It saddens me tremendously that they didn't bring my brother and me up bilingual as well. But, as is typical of the second generation, they were bent on shedding the "immigrant" aura of their upbringing and being as American as possible. I don't think the question of speaking Yiddish to us ever even came up. |
