Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
t Waves at Kat You too! How's your current semester schedule?
Zmayby! Soon, anyway.
Hi Nilly! L'Shanah Tova!
Oooh, yes. Happy New Year, Nilly! Thank you for lovely e-card!
Happy New Year, Nilly and Hil!
Yes, and Hil! ::thwaps own forehead::
nilly, it's hellish. but thanks for asking. My students are wonderful, but my grad classes are tough and I'm overwhelmed. unsurprisingly.
Hil! Sail! Lee! You too!
Hil, do you eat apples with honey on Rosh Hashana, as a sign for a sweet year? It's yummy, even if it doesn't sign anything.
[Edit: oh, Kat, I'm sorry about the hellish. But it's good to read that the one thing you really can't control, the students, is working out. Good luck with the un-overwhelming process. Or is it dis-overwhelming?]

Yep. Very yummy.
This year, my mom found these weird apples that have pinkish streaks going all through the inside, so they looked really pretty sliced.
Kat! Miss you! And still have no idea how on earth you do mornings. I got up early (for me) and now can barely look at my monitor without my head screaming. Ah well.
The signs advertising sukkahs are back! As are the sukkahs. The one I find the most amusing is the blue tarp one behind a bagel bakery in a strip mall. There are some rather elegant ones I see around the neighborhood. And then there are the blue tarp ones.
