Susan, I love the way the year is punctuated so differently (not just by holidays, but by the connections to them, like your choir) for different people. It's like living, just a bit, in an alternative reality, in a way.
I know what you mean. I've always enjoyed the rhythms of the year and watching the different ways people mark them, maybe especially because I grew up with so little official/sacred time-marking. Most Southern Baptists really don't go in for much of the liturgical year beyond Christmas and Easter themselves. So when I got to college and beyond and found myself surrounded by liturgical Christians and Jews and pagans and so on, it was like discovering something I'd always been looking for.

To me it's the other way around. The Jewish calendar monitors everything in such a detailed way (even for non-practicing people, in Israel - the holidays are vacations from school, and there are very few months without a single one), it's always a surprise to discover how differently time marks other people's lives.

Hmm. So, right after you finish all the corrections for b.org?
I may just have to pass to torture along to my co-workers.
Don't worry... it has already been passed on to me!
ita, I may have found a guy for you. The only drawback I can see is that he lives here. He's an endodontist (so he'll be well-off quite soon), he plays drums (so he's artistic), he's funny, he went to McGill, he's younger than you, and he is built and moves like a fighter (most likely karate - he moves like the karate peeps I know). I could kidnap him and fly him to L.A. You like?
I'll get right on it.
Thanks! You'll think it's worth it when I'll be able to transfer you some of the cookies my mom makes for Purim.
Endodontist?

Sounds great -- send him over! If he makes it through the warranty period, I'll make you a cake.

Hey! ita was behind me on The List. No cutting in line.
Oh christ, I want to kill someone slowly. I'm getting 30 copies of every email sent in.
