What was your first personal computer? I fell in love with the Kaypro and was the envy of my law firm when I first got it (along with a boss daisy wheel printer). This baby had 64kb of RAM! And a 9-inch screen! And came bundled with WordStar, dBASE II, and Space Invaders!

What is the best investment you ever made to grow your writing career? (Doesn’t have to be monetary.)

What about the worst?
Not firing my agent.
Reader Friday – Traditions
Reader Friday – Traditions.
Sundown today marks the start of the year 5781 on the Jewish calendar. Our family tradition revolves around the meal (which is true for virtually all Jewish holidays–they tried to kill us, we prevailed, let’s eat). Sweet dishes are the norm on Rosh Hashanah, to kick the new year off to a sweet start. At our table, dessert is always Pflaumkuchen (plum cake). The recipe varied, depending on which relative was in charge of dessert, and living where we do now, prune plums are almost impossible to get, but regardless of the details, it’s always going to be plum cake for dessert.
Any holiday traditions you’d like to share, food or otherwise? Have you ever included them in your writing?

JSB’s Whipped Coffee
This shutdown has me exploring my culinary side. For example, I recently discovered “whipped coffee.” (Talk about a money saver over those fancy frappy things at the coffee house!)
Do you have a favorite recipe you’d like to share with an amateur, housebound chef?
