Here’s how it happens:<br /><br />I don’t get cable at home, but when I’m working out at my health club, sometimes I’ll watch a show on TBS (as I become master not of my own domain … but … Stair Master!).</p> <p><img alt="tbs_logo_235" height="164" src="/images/uploads/tbs_logo_235.jpg" style="float: left;" title="tbs_logo_235" width="161" /><br /><br />Almost every break, TBS will run promos for its other shows, always showcasing a huge image of its logo – that half-circle that you see to the left.<br /><br />That’s when the synagogue thing happens.<br /><br />My mind can’t help but flash onto Temple Beth Sholom’s new building at 14th Avenue and Clement Street in San Francisco’s Richmond District.<img alt="building_beth_sholom_360" height="214" src="/images/uploads/blog_art/building_beth_sholom_360.jpg" style="float: right;" title="building_beth_sholom_360" width="334" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>I wonder if the same thing will happen this summer whenever  I see (and eat) a half slice of watermelon <img alt="watermelon_2_146." height="62" src="/images/uploads/watermelon_2_146.jpeg" style="float: left;" title="watermelon_2_146." width="101" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
