Part of the reason is that when I was 16 I began an on-going study of religions
-- seeking answers to my questions. I read extensively and talked extensively
to the priest classes of various religions, including (as the lawyers say "but,
not limited to") my milk religion (Episcopalian), Roman Catholicism, several
varieties of Christian Protestantism from pew-jumping Pentecostal to staid
Presbyterian and many stops in between. Also Islam in several iterations, Ba'
Hai, some of the faiths of the Indian sub-continent, more than one variety of
Buddhism, etc. etc. etc.

All I really learned is that for every question which I got an answer to more
questions opened up.

Also, because one of my good friends (and chilli cooking buddies), Les Eastep
is a practicing Jew. And I have maintained contact with my Rabbinical sources
of information, Dave Cohen, Mike Datz, and Barry Marx - all leaders of
different congregations of different practices of Judaism. Not to forget my
e-mail newsletter subscriptions at www.JewishVirtualLibrary.org and
www.israel21c.com

Does anyone still make vodka from 'taters? I'm not much of an imbiber, so, the
question of booze in a Kosher home has never come up.

Briggs was knocked down in 2009. The Tiggers moved to Comerica in '99. I
attended a World Series game there at the corner of Michigan & Trumbull on
Columbus Day 1984 ... because I had access to a free ticket and no freight to
haul. I was also present at the madhouse along Michigan Avenue when the Tigers
whupped the Padres (4 games to 1) on the following Sunday. I have no idea when
the last WS the Tiggers were in was held, and less interest currently.
