Small world
Ivyjews discuss Harold Bloom's legacy, which is interesting in and of itself. What I found the most intriguing was this:
...Harold Bloom is none other than [Yeshiva University] President [Richard] Joel's uncle!
I had no idea I went to high school with Harold Bloom's great-nephew! I'm surprised HAGWASH never tried to cash in on this. I'm not sure I would have cared back then, but Vanderwalde would have plotzed.
In other news, Mazel Tov to Avery Joel and Ari Vanderwalde on their recent engagements (not to each other, mind you). I'm sure, one day, they'll find this via Google and wish they'd invited me to their weddings.
That is assuming other people find googling their own name an interesting pastime:)

I'm winning again, by the way.
