Our neighbor should be moving from the hospital to a rehab center today; we visited her on Saturday, and she seems to be in pretty good spirits. She can only say one word (“well”) which has to be awfully frustrating, but it’s clear that she understands what everyone around her is saying.

I enjoyed A Flea in Her Ear; the Murky Nooz reviewer thought it was too light and frothy, but it seemed like just the ticket on Saturday. Parking, btw, was no problem — we found ourselves far away from light rail when it came time to head downtown, so we drove.

Yuppie felafel (as if I need more fried food after Hanukkah!).

The Euro conquers England

Need leftovers? (linkrot in a few days; registration probably required; rumor has it that a userid and password of “fubar” work fine)

Tonight is the big family Chanukkah service at Shir Hadash; it’ll be crowded. Fortunately, we’re not on Oneg duty tonight (though we’ll gladly help if we get there early enough).

Tomorrow is a San Jose Rep day, where we’ll see A Flea in Her Ear; we’ll probably take light rail, since parking downtown may be scarce due to Christmas in the Park.

Things are getting quiet at work, with fewer people showing up every day as folks burn off their vacation; I will be joining the ranks of the absent in the middle of next week.

Shabbat Shalom!
