Now I’m working on “eliminating the fat” for the next release. For my other clients, I’m working on developing a technique whereby I cease to be upset that they never read the documentation I work diligently to produce. So far, not much luck.<br />

Esther and I also made some progress (quite a bit, actually) this week in clearing up more of the rubble, as we prepare our home for the long-awaited arrival of our grandchildren (well, and their parents as well!). It’s a process.<br />

Our menu this ''shabbat'' includes:<br><br />
home-made sourdough rolls,<br />
mushroom soup,<br />
chicken with rice,<br />
various ''salatim'',<br />
and spice cake.<br><br />
<br />
Until next time,<br><br />
''shabbat shalom''!<br />
