Nice meara, Epic!
If you go, I hope you enjoy, Hil.
I'm going to a friend's daughter's dance show tonight - she and a friend choreographed and will perform - in DC and then to the after-party... somewhere downtown. [link]
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Yeah that’s a hell yes on the blacksmithing class for me dawg.
Did I tell you all about the glass-blowing bar by my cabin? It’s actually a super cool concept. You can do glass-working classes (you get a token for a free drink after the class) but you can also just go hang out and watch from the bar. Drives a ton more traffic in than just the studio alone for classes, retail and commissions.
I gather the permitting process was uh, extensive, but it’s my favorite bar to hang out at in that area by a mile.
Even if they don’t have pull-tabs. (Which like one person around here will get :-)

Hey Hil—one of my roommates from college asked this—do you know/can you recommend anyone?
have one (or possibly two) letters written to (or very possibly by) my great-grandmother, who left Bialystok in 1920. The language is either Hebrew or Yiddish, neither of which I would really understand even if I could transliterate the words.
Do I know anyone who can read and translate 100yo handwritten Hebrew script if I scan it to you?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That sounds like so much fun. I saw a glass-blowing demonstration once, in Italy, and it was fascinating.
I think I'm not going to go to services tonight -- it feels like I'm getting a migraine, and I'm really just too tired.

The language is almost certainly Yiddish, from that time and place. If it's just a few pages, they can post them in the Facebook group Tracing The Tribe -- there are a lot of people there who can read Yiddish and will translate short things like letters. (It's best not to post those on a Friday night or Saturday -- most of the Yiddish-speakers observe Shabbat, and things posted then will get buried in new posts by the time they're back online on Sunday.)

Oh, man, hanging out with drinks watching glassblowing sounds like such a good time!
Sorry about the migraine, Hil

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think I’m going to bed at 8.
For some reason this shit today in DC has sent me over the edge. I’m so fucking angry.
