kat and Kat! I hardly ever get to post with any of you, let alone with the two of you together. Now I want you to agree on something that I think is correct, so that I can write that I agree with k(K)at. Because it's all about me.
ita, you're going to Kenya? That's awesome! When? For how long?
Cindy, if there's a blessing on the whine, it should have "oy" in it.
She did, however, read from the Torah during the dinner afterwards.
Actually read from the torah, or talked about that shabbat's part of the torah that's read on the morning service? Also, if she had actually read, did she do it in front of men? From the actual 'big' official torah book (that doesn't look like a book at all, but rather like a big scroll)?

She read a passage in Hebrew, and it was in front of men, but not from the actual Torah (I forgot that part -- it was just a sheet of paper).
Mid-September, Nilly. I'm currently playing around with Travelocity and trying to remember I'd budgeted for this already. Because, ouch.

Dude. That's almost worth having a baby for.

Damn. Why aren't I independantly wealthy, so I can buy that for Plei & Princess Tickybox?
Nilly! I passed by the restaurant where we lucky NYCistas got to have brunch with you yesterday. It is just a couple of blocks away from my kind-of-but-not-really new apartment. It was such fun to have you here. I wish I could have more Nilly in my life.
That's something that I know Kat can agree with.

That makes sense, if they're Orthodox.
ita, for how long will you be there? Also, good luck on the prices front.
OK, no more posts from me until I finish at least another part of the deadlined thing that wouldn't die. I have to behave.
Women with smart fathers or tall ones choose smart or tall mates, you're saying? Is this linked to whether or not they're smart or tall?
Smart and tall women choose smart and tall men. In either case, the process leading to this could be based on the woman's phenotype (e.g. she finds men who are dumber-than-her boring; feels awkward with a shorter-than-her man) or it could be based on the phenotype of the father (e.g. she is expected to go to college so ends up with college educated mate; grows up admiring taller than average men). It's probably her phenotype for intelligence and height, but obviously can't be for male pattern baldness.
Also, how early is early -- a significant portion of these women choosing after baldness has manifested?
Some. But for this to work you have to assume that women use a potential mate's relatives as cues for many of his future characteristics.
