    "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone. "It means just what I choose it to mean - neither more or less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all." -- Lewis Carroll, Alice In Wonderland

    This essay explores the historical and cultural transition from the BC/AD dating system to BCE/CE, examining its motivations, adoption, and implications. It highlights how the shift reflects a move toward secularization, academic neutrality, and inclusivity in a globalized world. Special attention is given to the Jewish community's embrace of BCE/CE as a way to maintain religious identity while participating in broader discourse. The thesis also addresses controversies surrounding the change and its significance in fostering interfaith respect and scientific standardization in historical chronology.

    Updating daily (hopefully) about everything going on in my life everyday so I have something to remember what I think about. I try to keep it personal enough for readers to understand. If you think I'm a jerk, I'm sorry to admit I am.

    SAMPLE CHAPTERS ONLY: FULL BOOK AVAILABLE ON AMAZON AND FROM THE AUTHOR _______________________ This is the first book in a series of standalone romances set in an island paradise. Absolutely no cliffhangers and guaranteed happy ending! Get ready for a delightful, heartwarming, tongue-filled (!) romantic comedy. Rome Alvez is a disgraced champion race car driver, a notorious playboy, and he's her stoical Boss. Alex Hernandez is his efficient but smart-mouth and willful Personal Assistant tasked to repackage his image and bring him back to glory. He's sarcastic. She's cynical. He's a player. She's a man-hater. From the first moment they met, it's a battle of wit, wills, and principles. Their views and values on relationships are poles apart. They don't hold them back from each other, expressing them in colorful language every chance they get. But in reality, both are cowards in disguise, scared and scarred, ruined by people close to them. So what do they do when they find themselves drawn to each other despite their differences? They run around in circles and chalk up that "something" between them to just plain desire. After all, desire, attraction, lust, chemistry-those are the same banana, aren't they? It doesn't matter how they word it. It's just semantics. Or is it? What if that "something" between them masks a deeper feeling which they can't refuse or deny? What if fate brought them together to heal each other's emotional wounds and give them the courage to take a risk on love?
