Happy birthday, Allyson!
I find the cabins charming, but not really practical for the lot of us.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

That cottage on the island looks marvelous. Can I spend the summer there?

Happy belated birthday, Allyson.
Over here, a few weeks ago I agreed of having the Seder with my extended family and not with friends as usual. That was probably my first mistake. The second was worse. After a few Seders with friends with a humanistic and chopped Haggadah with nice and more contemporary bits on freedom, I have sadly forgotten that suggesting a few additions to the traditional text with my extended family is the equivalent of starting a land war in Asia.
I especially loved that one of the notes on a line that paraphrased Jewish sources from the past 700 years and included the words freedom and solidarity was "it is taken from the French motto". Oh yes, those wacky Eastern European/Middle Eastern Jews and their French ideas of freedom and solidarity.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Dear NYT:
In an interview Tuesday, Mr. Hogg said they had been singled out because of their prominence and emphasized that ad homonym attacks would not end school shootings.
I don't think that means what you think it means. It only sort of sounds like you think it means.

Damn, high standards over there at the Grey Lady.

There's this [link] which seems like a useful term but is almost certainly not what they meant.

Oh, Shir. Yeah, I can see how that would make things bad with the family gathering.

I am overhearing people processing orders wrong for one of my old accounts, but it is none of my business. So hard to stay out of it!

Also, some of my kosher-for-passover foood is being delivered today and it is ridiculous how excited I am to try new snacks! There are two reform synagogues in Vallejo and a Chabad house in Vacaville but I don't know where those people shop, the whole county is pretty scarce on kosher anything.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We are well-stocked with Passover snacks, thanks to Moti's Kosher Mart. I do wish the regular supermarkets had better selections, but it is what is.
