Earlier this evening Austin tweeted this:

Yup in all caps. You think there was a fire in his belly about something?
Could it have something to do with this?
While Jake did nothing to endorse the "faux" persona and the summer fun that he was supposed to be having, there seems to be something missing in his chat with Dave. Yes, he was funny and charming. But there was something missing. Jake's life now. Not his past or his sister's family.
And hey he has every right to have a private life he doesn't need to share the minutia of his life, but it seemed if there was something missing from his chat last night. It was if he wanted to say more, but constant cut himself off.
Jake's a happy guy, a nice guy, and you want to be happy. You to see his eyes brighten, see that grin, and see him glow. You want him to have that happiness and joy that sweetness of life. And the joy being able to share that out without complication or hesitation.
And today of all days. It all comes to together. At sundown this evening was the start of Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of the Jewish Year 5774.
A common greeting on Rosh Hashanah is
shana tovah u'metukah, Hebrew for "a good and sweet new year."
Austin might translate that thru movies and Fellini and say La Dolce Vita. The sweet life.
That's what we want for Jake and for Austin, and for all of them, and for all of us. A sweet year ahead.
L'shanna Tovah!
Happy New Year!
