A Prayer For The New Year

The crack SJG Security Team may have overreacted last night, or should I say early this morning around 3 ish, when Barker-In-Chief Sir Blakey, the Royal Rescue Pup of Otherworldly Hearing Ability, set off the glass break sensor on the sliding door with a series of high-pitched, wake-the-dead growls that triggered the alarm and frayed the already-frazzled nerves of the rapidly aging residents, who have just one wish for the Jewish New Year. "May it be Your will that at some point in the coming year we know the peace and tranquility of sleeping through the night. All we're praying for is a one-time event. A full-night's sleep. Is that too much to ask, Adonai Eloheinu?" Amen.

Good thing we canceled his shofar-blowing lessons.
