I was on the local news

So I was on the local news last night and this morning. The network happened to be Fox, and they got one fact incorrect, but they did a good job on their story anyway. I, of course, had to use my old name, but that is to be expected.

On a related note (to the name thing), yesterday I used my old name with someone who knows my new name. He was startled. It was just after I left work though, and I was still in work mode, so it was understandable.

How NUJLS has impacted my life

So I wrote a little article for a newsletter on the title topic. I think it's excellent, and after it goes out I'll post it here.

South Bend Politics

So in South Bend, where I grew up, there is a mayoral election coming up. The Republican challenger has made the campaign extremely negative, whereas the Democratic incumbent has stayed as positive as possible. I hope that he wins.

Anyway, a group started called Citizens for Progress through Hope not Fear. It wants to rise above the negativity and put forward a positive image of South Bend. Although this is a real struggle for me, I am trying to work at thinking about positive things about South Bend and you can read them in my other blog (as I blog them) at kythester.blogspot.com.

My New Name

So I have found a name I like and have started to use it.

What I strive for

מקום שלבי אוהב
מקום שלבי אוהב
מקום שלבי אוהב
שם רגלי מוליכות אותי

In other words (poetic translation)

The place that my heart holds dear
The place that my heart holds dear
The place that my heart holds dear
That my feet may bring me near
