Hi, again!<br />
<br />
Extraordinarily busy this week, as usual just before ''pesaḥ''! Cleaning, fixing, shopping and working took up almost all our time, and now we're still working on getting ready for the holiday as well as for ''shabbat''. B"H!<br />
<br />
As is our tradition, my ''ḥevruta'' and his family will be joining us for the ''seder'' meal. Their job is to provide the ''maṣah'' and ours is to provide the rest of the vittles. We'll also be joined (B"H!) by Daniela, Jeremy and Jeremy's sister Ilana. The ''seder'' meal menu will include: ''maṣah'' ball soup, beet salad, carrot salad, leek patties, brisket with ''tsimmes'', roasted chicken and assorted desserts (some courtesy of Jeremy's parents, thank you!). All this, besides the four-cups of wine, ''maṣah'' and crudités which are ''de-rigeur'' at any self-respecting ''seder'' meal!<br />
<br />
Among other things this week I changed the front-door lock. Esther had been complaining for a month or more since I ''messed up'' the former lock by getting new keys. Besides that, the former lock required a key be left inside so the door could be locked (clearly, not intended as a normal entrance-lock). So I got a proper front-door lock and replaced the other one (which was fine, by the way...). It was a manly venture, but well met. <br />
<br />
We made a run to the ''shuq'' before [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/9943357/Barack-Obama-in-Israel-the-Beast-limo-breaks-down.html His Royal Highness] visited. Shopping in Jerusalem before a holiday is hectic at the best of times, but we knew that the advent of The One would make traffic almost impassible in the Holy City. 15,000 security personnel were deployed to protect him and his entourage. Snipers were deployed at intersections, as well as riot police. Seriously, who do we think he is?<br />
<br />
In celebration of his visit, the terrorists in Gaza [http://www.jpost.com/National-News/Two-rockets-slam-into-Sderot-during-Obama-visit-307212 sent a couple missiles] into Israel, and the "moderates" in Ramallah [http://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Palestinians-accuse-Obama-of-siding-with-Israel-307282 protested his visit to their lovely city]. What's not to love about the Arabs? Such cuddly people, [http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/20/world/middleeast/mariam-farhat-palestinian-mother-of-martyrs-dies-at-64.html?_r=1& such good mothers]! Makes one want to deploy napalm liberally.<br />
<br />
But fortunately, The Royal Visit is ending today, so we can look forward to a more peaceful ''shabbat''. In other news, I have made significant progress on the new version of ''zemanim''. Here is a [http://ronware.org/zman/zemanim.html sneak preview], which you can access from the comfort of your web-browser. It is a ''rough draft'', and only has some features of the complete ''[[zemanim]]'' application. You will need to refresh (press F5, or just reload the page) after you answer the initial questions, in order for the page to display correctly. Also, it may not work in older browsers (Chrome will work, haven't tried others). Sorry, that's just the way it is for now. I welcome your comments and questions and suggestions!<br />
<br />
This ''shabbat'' we're invited out for one meal. Seeing as how it's just before ''pesaḥ'' we are going with a diminished menu:<br />
roast with potatoes,<br />
baked salmon,<br />
''salatim'',<br />
green beans,<br />
chicken salad<br />
and honey cake.<br />
<br />
<br />
Until next week,<br><br />
''shabbat shalom'' and ''ḥag sameaḥ''!<br />
