Week in review

[magid]

+ two shiurim
+ book release party with cool people and yummy food I could eat (congrats again to Mabfan and Gnomi)
+ four lessons written
– no feedback yet on any of them
+ bike ride
– ... in the singular
+ Obama!
– CA Prop 8 (and the others, but this was closest)
+ recitation of The Masque of the Red Death, plus other stories
– not getting out of the house enough
– still too high a faff around on computer ratio
– Dad's continued ill health of unknown cause
+ making an art garment I'd thought about since last year
– burlap is a pain to sew (at least on my mini baby sewing machine)
+ winter share pickup and bulk order
– .... far too close to Shabbat for comfort
+ Art in the Pews (I'm still totally curious about why they had so many spare doors to use as trestles, too)
+ Shabbat lunch invitation in Brookline

your dad

Sorry to hear about your dad. Will keep him in our prayers

Re: your dad

Thank you.

And I owe you email; I've been not so good about keeping up.

Surely Obama deserves more than one plus?


m.

[magid.livejournal.com]

Yes.

But I decided last week that I wasn't going to try to rate relative plusfulness (or minusness), which would end up giving myself strictures I'd then feel I had to stick to (Is this better than that? By how much? How much is perceived v. 'objective' good? Etc. Better just to post already).

And I already did a happy election day post :-).

[megmuck.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, your father being sick probably deserves more than one minus, too.
May he have compassionate, competent doctors and a quick diagnosis.


m.

[magid.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Right now, he's had whatever-it-is for months, so a diagnosis would be excellent.

Thank you.

Your dad is in my thoughts. Do you want a misheberach said for him at Kadimah on Shabbat?

And it was wonderful to see you last Sunday.

[magid.livejournal.com]

My first reaction was "it's not that bad!"... but really, it doesn't have to be horrible for a mi sheberach. His name is Yitzchak Eliyahu ben Yetta. And thank you.

'Twas good indeed to see you, especially for such an excellent reason :-).

May your father have a proper diagnosis and a refuah shleimah soon.

From your lips (keyboard?) to God's ears.
