Hi, again!

The ''pesaḥ'' holiday ended this Monday -- and we had one of the most relaxing times on record. Amazingly, even though we ate very well, none of us gained weight over the holiday! Friends of ours came over for the noon meal on the last day, and we made good use of the new barbecue. The weather was pleasant, and has become a little cooler and rainy now, though that's not going to last long.

Daniela spent her 'intermediate days' of the holiday with friends. On one of their more memorable outings, they visited the [http://www.mennoniteinfoctr.com/tabernacle.asp Mennonite Tabernacle Reproduction] -- where she and her friends were most likely the only Jews (let alone religious ones). She also went to Baltimore, where she spent the holiday itself with her boyfriend's family. Not surprisingly, she liked them and apparently they liked her back, so life is good.

Going back to work was really difficult after a week of total relaxation. However, I reminded myself the ''reason'' I go to work (getting paid, that is), which made it far more palatable. Of course, it was a crazy half-week; but now it's ''shabbat'' again in a few hours, so life is ''very'' good.

Technical-dweeb information: the new release of [http://ubuntu.com Ubuntu] (and [http://kubuntu.org kubuntu]) was made yesterday (Apr 28th). I'm going through the process of upgrading my machines to it before I make any recommendations to others, so look for that next week. I ''have'' to upgrade my work machine, since we will absolutely need to support the latest version of the OS for our product.

Sarah's friends are here for ''shabbat''. On the ticket this time: teriyaki-sesame salmon, roast chicken, ''[http://www.cypnet.co.uk/ncyprus/culture/cuisine/veg/imam.html imam bayildi]'', beet salad, corn salad, carrot-ginger soup, brown rice ''pilaf'', chickpea-curry stew

Until next week,<br>
shabbat shalom!
