Oh, cool, Susan. Thanks!
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh Deena love! I am vibing madly. Is there anything we can do for you?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I am going to my co-worker's daughter's bat mitzvah tomorrow, and, as I have never set foot in a synagogue, I don't know if a long sleeveless dress and open-toe shoes are okay to wear. They're Reform.
Yes? No?
For a Reform synagogue, that should be fine. (Pretty much, for Reform, there aren't really any clothing rules -- if it seems like whatever is considered appropriate for other fancy occaisions where you live, it's probably fine. For Conservative, same deal, though maybe a touch more modest, and probably skirt rather than pants for women. The only one where clothing would be a real issue is Orthodox -- there, it's sleeves no more than 2 inches above the elbow, skirt past the knee, not even a hint of cleavage.)
t edit: I'd say that "bring a cardigan just in case" sounds like a good plan, even just in case the synagogue is really overly air-conditioned or something. But there shouldn't be any issues with a sleeveless dress, religiously.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Deena, I'm currently not using the Dad-heart-ma, so you may have all of it. What hospital is he in? (I ask b/c I can look stuff up for you, though it won't be until tomorrow, b/c I'm going to bed now.)
Lots of heart-healthy vibes his way, and calm vibes your way, sweetie.
For a Reform synagogue, that should be fine.
Thanks, Hil!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Dad's in intensive care at Sparks Health System in Fort Smith, Arkansas. He was sleeping when I called, so I'll be checking in again in the morning. The nurse said not to worry and that he's fine right now.
Thanks for the ~ma guys, I very much appreciate it. I'm thinking that visit to my parents that we were going to put off for a little while may be happening this summer. I'd up and run off now if I could swing it, but I can't and it wouldn't be any help, so... It's his first and he's in the hospital and they only mentioned one stent. That all seems hopeful to me. If I'm living in lala land, don't tell me.
