We were working as usual this week. Nothing exciting to report on that front, though I find my patience for humans has worn much thinner than it used to be.

I sent out an email to my “Aaron clan” members, detailing the latest we know about our forebears. Quite a lot, surprisingly, considering nobody alive knows much, and what they do know is often wrong. Entertainingly, my (likely) great-grandfather (or great-granduncle) featured prominently in the exposé [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kAMVa3uMwo “Biography of a Bookie Joint”] by Walter Cronkite. At least the family’s not dull.

While I’ve pushed our tree out to about 2,300 people, it pales beside the [https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/largest-human-genomic-family-tree-identifies-nealy-27-million-ancestors-180979657/ largest genomic family tree] containing some 27 million. Of course, my tree has people I ''know'' existed, while theirs is almost entirely speculative, so I feel good about myself.

Of note:

* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oYy4M_slQw Al-Jazeera lied] about “al Aqsa” (unsurprisingly).

After making an incredibly good seeded-rye two weeks ago, I decided to eschew the store-bought loaves and just make my own bread. One loaf a week is all we need, and it’s so much better than the store bought! It is, that is, [http://ronware.org/img/flatrye.jpeg until disaster strikes]. The loaves had risen nicely and filled the tin and were breaching the top, but collapsed upon baking. I think they may have been over-proved (though I’ve no proof), but they still tasted just fine.

The weather’s been reasonable, unlike yours truly. It’ll be above average for ''shabbat'', warming into a springtime heat-wave during the week. I better get busy in the garden this week!

This ''shabbat'', once again, we were invited out for a meal. As for the rest:<br>
homemade ''ḥalla'',
traditional ''cholent'',
various ''salatim'',
and marble-cake<br>

Until next time,<br>
''shabbat shalom''!
