July 6th
B”H! Esther returned safe and sound (and tired). Her return flight wasn’t as pleasant as it could have been. Ignorant people (”Birthright” folks) were talking loudly. Small folks were kicking her seat. The flight was crowded. But she braved it all, and early in the morning on Monday, her loving husband fetched her from the airport and returned her to her abode.
In the month and a half since she’d last seen her abode, it had grown quite a bit more crowded: my mom’s lift arrived just before we went to the States, and untold quantities of “stuff” with it.
Most of the clutter had been resolved before Esther’s return, but a significant amount remains, and our house isn’t big enough to comfortably handle all of it. So we’re trying to figure out what to do. Or more correctly: Esther’s trying to figure it out. I just punted to her.
This week we tried to spin back up to normal speed. I did some work. Esther didn’t go back to work yet, which is a good thing.
I made a new release of 8th, a bit overdue. So far, it seems to have generated a lot of traffic on my site (that’s a good thing). The next release will be a significant one in that more platform support will be added. If only I could get more time and/or money to work on it!
Interesting stuff:
- A Rubin Report video with Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, and Eric Weinstein. Interesting stuff, indeed!
- “Politics have always been divisive”, another video with one of my favorite YouTube personalities.
- Transgenderism is ideology, not science.
- Just for fun: try to read this Vox article on the American Revolution without choking. Go ahead, I dare ‘ya!
- And now for something completely different: a Monty Python veteran slams BBC’s PC policies.
Esther and I celebrated 25 years of marriage, this week. We’re aiming for at least 26! Daniela and Jeremy celebrated their anniversary, as always, on the same day. Copycats.
The grand-kids are growing at an alarming rate, while retaining their cuteness. They’ve gone bald for now; hopefully the hair will return! As I’m becoming increasingly follicly underrepresented, I can’t say being hairless has diminished them in any way.
Sarah was supposed to have been with us this shabbat, but she’s not feeling well. We wish her a quick and complete recovery.
The Woman of the House has returned! In celebration, we’ll have:
homemade ḥalla,
“orange” soup,
baked chicken,
fried tofu,
mushroom quiche,
veggie cholent,
carrot muffins,
tuna salad,
various salatim,
and some pastries.
Until next time,
shabbat shalom!
