So.... (Seems like "So...." will be my signature opening.) It's been almost a-day-without-100-words, but I caught myself in just about the last minute. Today, I'd like a word about the title of this site - Surmera, Assetov. Many of us have heard of the unofficial Google Motto: Don't Be Evil. Well, to quote Kind David in the Book of Psalms (and my own personal motto), It's not enough to "not be evil". One should also strive to do good... And so comes this title. Surmera connects together the two Hebrew words for move away from evil - distance yourself from evil - "Sur MeRa". Assetov connects the two Hebrew words for do good - "Asse Tov". #philosophy #reuven #surmeraassetov #סורמרעעשהטוב #life

...And then, I had a stroke of Genius! We're Guys! We drink (some more, some less - but we do). We're Guys! We don't mind dressing the same, we don't mind having all the same gift. We actually like it - Confidence in Numbers, right? So... I bought 8 "I love NYC" Whiskey Shot-Glasses. And as I was handing it out the Guys, I said - "whenever you travel, wherever you travel, you look for Whiskey Shot-Glasses - and you bring back 8...One for you - and one for the other guys". And today, we each have a very nice and varied collection. Below is the whiskey shot colletion, as of December 2014. #reuven #whiskeyshotscollection

Here I was, in New York City, walking the streets with my significant other, who was busily looking for gifts for her friends - the ladies of the couples (and we're 8 couples). Seems like the ladies have this unwritten agreement that whenever one of them travels, they buy token-gifts to all others. And then it hit me! Why shouldn't we guys start the same? But on the other hand, we're guys, right? We do guys things, and we don't have patience to think "what would Joe really want me to buy him? And would James want the same? Or be happy with it?" (To be continued...) #reuven #whiskeyshotscollection

So... I heard a podcast talking about repeating something a hundred times, and as a result getting sooo much better in doing it. Specifically, they talked about writing one hundred words, for 100 hundred days (or was it the other way round? or without trying to be funny, was it for less days?) - so I decided to try doing so. This will serve as an opportunity for me to try and hone my writing skills, and maybe - one day - eventually, write - and not only as part of my work? I can also take this as a chance to experiment with blogging, something I need to do for work. #philosophy #reuven #life
