The first seder featured the plague of flying marshmallows, and lots of plastic bugs, not to mention amazing new uses for T-shirts, and more energy from the under -12-year-old crew than I would've previously thought possible.
The second seder went ok, despite my nervousness about leading. I'd forgotten parsley for karpas, and substituted scallion, which worked well. Mostly, though, it's a bit of a blur; I think I was far too keyed up to remember most of the details, though it was the first time the Simpsons were cited at a seder I was at.
The first of the middle days was also the day of going East (I never have understood that name). I was gifted with a box made of cloves and cinnamon, worthy of any Wise Man, and successfully foisted leftovers. Two thumbs up for Bend It Like Beckham, too.
Patriot's Day today meant a quick commute, with so few people on the roads. It being marathon day means that a bit of road I drive most mornings and afternoons was cured of its potholes, since it is on the race route. Now if the rest of the roads would follow suit...
