Sooooooo hungry!

This past weekend was Yom Kippur, which for those who might not know is one of the high holy days in Judaism. Aaron traditionally observes the holiday like many Jews by fasting. I hadn't ever fasted before, but wanted to support Aaron. The idea is that you fast in order to improve your ability to focus on repentance and ask for forgiveness - it's a day of atonement. My main outstanding question for Aaron was that if this was indeed a holy day, how does watching football fit into the plan? Why were we starving ourselves only to entertain ourselves with tv rather than doing something more spiritual or observant? So, the tv was turned off and we spent some quality time together. We made it through the day with only the expected and tolerated amount of grumpiness.
