Over all I had a pretty good fast this year. I had pasta right before the fast and it seemed to do a good job of keeping me full.

On Yom Kippur night I went to Beni David and about half way through the service I met a very important person. No it was not Dad or my Uncle, it was the Mayor… Yes Antonio Villaraigosa the mayor of Los Angeles sat in front of me and talked with me for a good two minutes during the night time service.

The day time service was less eventful, I spent most of the morning in Shul, went back around 5pm and broke my fast on cake there, I then went home and had left over pasta from the night before.
