Hi again!

Last week I was rushed and rushing, because we had guests for shabbat we hadn't really counted on; two very nice girls from the "Keshet" educational tours program. It was a last-minute thing -- our neighbor's son is a group leader, and wondered if we could host two girls. Of course we agreed, and I'm pretty sure we didn't scare them too badly.

Sarah underwent oral surgery this week to have one of her (impacted and infected) wisdom teeth removed. Her mouth was sore for a couple of days, but B"H she's ok now and (I think) looking forward to her mother's delicious shabbat food.

Esther did her doula work again; mother and baby are fine. In other medically-related news, I'm done with the "diabetes workshop". Now I just have to put their advice into practice.

We are now the sort-of owners of a new car, a Nissan Tiida (aka the "Versa" in the US and Canada). We're leasing, which is why we're not really owners; though we have the option to buy at the end of the leasing period. So far, we like the car better than the Optra "More" we were renting. We'll let you know if it works out or not. Anyway, we were supposed to get the car two weeks after signing the leasing agreement, which would have been this past Thursday. On Sunday I called the leasing company, asking when the car would be ready, to which they replied "next week". I told them that we had to have a car by Wednesday next week (because my father-in-law is coming to visit, though I didn't tell them that), to which they replied "by next Wednesday you'll have the car three times already". I didn't really know what that was supposed to mean, but I assumed we might not get possession as quickly as I had hoped. Anyway, on Wednesday (this week) the guy calls me and asks, "When did we agree to deliver the car?". I told him, "by next Wednesday". To which he responded, "Is today ok?". A real wise-guy... The Arabs don't like it, though.

But then, the Arabs don't even like Daniel Barenboim, may the name of the wicked rot. Of course, the Jordanians hate the Fakestinians and are working to remove their citizenship. Imagine the public uproar if Israel did that to any of the Arab interlopers who currently have Israeli citizenship? The UN, the EU, the State Department... wow, it would be a red-letter day for Israel-bashing! But when an Arab country does it, well that's just not news, is it?

Until next week,
Shabbat shalom!
