{{blog}} {{comment|Jan 24th}}

I suppose I spoke too soon last week about “being on the mend” and all. I’ve been hacking and coughing, chills but no fever, and out of energy and feeling pretty out of it all week. Not sure if it’s just a cold, or COVID, or a touch of flu; in any event, the treatment is the same for any of it. Apparently it’s “just going around”; hopefully it’ll soon be over.

The biggest news of the week was [https://mrandrewfox.substack.com/p/emilys-home the release of three female hostages] from the foul grip of Hamas. My friend [https://penamacorrespondent.blog/with-both-your-hearts/ has a take] as well on this which is worth reading. We’re expecting another four to be released on ''shabbat''. As of this writing, we don’t know who is “on the list”.

The other big news of the week was, of course, the “changing of the guard” in Washington DC. I was very pleasantly surprised by the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdxK9XN-RP4 immediate turn-around in the official USA policies towards us] in the ME. Though issuing EOs which can be rescinded by the next POTUS is not really the way things should go. Of course, that’s become the norm…

… Speaking of “norms”, how’d y’all like [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbeO041F3S8 Biden preemptively pardoning] a whole flock of characters including his entire family? That’s setting a precedent ''everyone'' will regret for generations.

Of note:
* When do drugs [https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1882103624266039641.html ''really'' expire]? You might be surprised.
* “Cut the Bull” interviews [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyKFdD-BTOI James Lindsay].
* Mallen on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mbwj844iF-c “after the inauguration”]: America’s coming challenges.

I managed to make an [https://8th-dev.com/zemanim2.html updated release] of my “zemanim” application, released to both Apple and Android stores. Not to complain, but releasing to Apple is a right pain in the rear.

Sarah’s come down with a stiff fever, poor thing! We wish her a “רפואה שלמה” – a full recovery; not just her, but to ourselves and our friends, and our entire nation.

We had some rain this week, and cool weather (but a bit above average). ''shabbat'' should be chilly but mostly dry. We were supposed to have guests for ''shabbat'', but informed them of my afflictions and they decided to demur. Probably a good choice.

We’re probably staying in this ''shabbat''; on the menu: 
homemade ''ḥallah'',
chicken soup,
chicken,
some ''salatim'',
and chocolate-chip cookies.
 
Until next time, 
''shabbat shalom''!
