Luke Ford Interviews Me at His Hovel
Posted by Orit Arfa
Follow JewishJournal.com on 
Blogger Luke Ford is blogging about our interview like crazy following our video chat in his “hovel” in the Pico/Robertson area. So it wasn’t as glamorous as Oprah, but he was as gracious and menschadik a host as the charming hovel permits, asking me challenging questions about love, Judaism and philosophy.
I have to admit this whole thing has made me a little self-conscious.
Is blogging about how men can MANsch up coming at a personal cost, i.e. self-inflicted invasion of privacy and raising my already difficult romantic standards? Or am I doing a real service for humankind and ultimately for myself?
Thoughts anyone?
