I am woman, hear me roar
To be filed under the "a woman can do anything" category:
The Rabbi of my temple will be leaving soon to become VP of the Union for Reform Judaism (which represents 900 congregations with a total of 1.5 million members in the United States and Canada), making the highest-ranking female Jewish clergy in North America. This will be the first time that position was ever held by a woman. Some other little firsts for Rabbi Offner?
• The first female rabbi in Minnesota.
• The first rabbi elected chaplain of the Minnesota Senate.
• The nation's first openly lesbian rabbi to serve a mainstream congregation.
• The first woman to serve on the national rabbinical pension board.
How cool is all of that?

And talking of donuts... I just watched the last episode of the Dresden Files, and Harry mentioned keeping an eye open for donuts while he was searching a place, so it hasn't just been a book thing. That's 12 episodes in 3 days, as well as fitting in Doctor Who and going to see Iron Man - I haven't done a hell of a lot around the house I have to admit. *g*

My Methos/Bob mental image thing looks like it might be in danger of developing a plot, Janette and Lacroix from Forever Knight are threatening to become associates of Bianca and Amanda is trying to be heard as well. Top this off with Ianto muse burbling at me about Methos, and Methos muse burbling at me about Jack and I'm having trouble finding space in my own brain.
Think I'll go and play sims for a while.
