Somone to appreciate

Thanks for the idea on what to blog about Levi, so today I will start with some appreciations for one Daniel Aaron Blum (or Dennis as he is so affectionately known by our landlord).

Since moving in with Danny there has been many ups and downs (strikes and gutters), but there has been one constant...the food scene. Danny is into it, and I mean deep. Since living with Danny I have learned s0 many new things about food. For example, did you know that Trader Joe's sells a ten pound bar of chocolate? Or did you know the Kielbasa is officially a meal all by itself, or that it can be had as dessert? Danny has taught me quite a bit about breakfast. Danny likes to stick to a simple bowl of granola, with yogurt and some fresh blueberries, but on weekends he can get crazy and start to get into eggs, ham, smoothies, challah French toast with homemade strawberries, etc, etc, etc. Danny reinvented the cream cheese bagel with, dried mangoes and raisins...it was incredible (I am kicking my feet in the air just thinking of it). Speaking of the dried fruit scene, Daniel A. Blum is INTO IT. Just last night he ate 9 prunes in under 2 minutes, a new house record; and he had a BM following that lasted for 37 minutes (a second place record in the house).

But to say that Danny is only into the food scene is to limit him, and we dare not limit a human with such limitless potential. Danny is incredibly emotionally supportive, almost like a parent in some ways. Often consulting with friends before the go to talk to their parents about difficult issue, Danny is an incredible counselor and friend. He is very wise for his tender age of 25 and often blesses us with riddles and poems that give us glimpses into his insight. It is truly a pleasure living with someone of this nature.

In other news East Bay Moishe is alive and kicking despite our teams drastic softball month. Stating in May we will be starting a book club and if anybody is interested in joining and reading along check out our calendar for our monthly book club meeting. Our newest member Ashley Warner moved in yesterday, heck yeah. Lets get ready to Moishe the world.

And to those in Moishe Mobile, have fun, be careful, only eat a little bit of that at first and then wait...
