Yes.

And the fact that I post on Saturdays and generally have nothing but contempt for the dumber parts of "tradition" didn't clue you in?

You know, most people can't afford to take half a day off from work every week. Say, maybe that might have something to do with why you got fired!

I'd hope your parents are hosting one or at least attending one with you.

My parents (or grandparents, sometimes) hosted one every year up through 2013. Unfortunately, these days my family is a bit more scattered and busy so it's hard to get us all together. I've been invited to a dinner with friends tomorrow, but it's probably not going to meet your psychotically strict definition of a Seder.

I thought you were culturally Jewish.

I am. That refers to my cultural background— it doesn't mean I have to obsessively follow every little ritual your orthodox brain thinks a magic man ordered. Hell, half of the dumb rituals you follow were never part of my background in the first place— Shabbos was for squares most of my life; attending synagogue was unheard of; my family never kept kosher (and the synagogue they nominally belonged to taught that kashrut was obsolete and no longer in effect); Seders notwithstanding, my family stopped observing Passover when I was 12 (I observed Passover on my own for another year after that).
