Back from one set, on to the other
Oct. 1st, 2007 08:30 amI've been offline since Wednesday afternoon and am going to be offline again from this Wednesday afternoon through Sunday at the earliest. So I'm very, very behind and not even going to try to catch up. Please let me know here if there's anything I should look at.
Sukkot has been lovely so far. We've had meals at all sorts of friends' houses, both new friends and old friends. The weather has been magnificent for a holiday on which we eat all our meals outside -- Wednesday night and Thursday felt more like mid-July than late September; Thursday night, the rain held off until near the end of dinner, so we went inside to eat dessert but got to eat the majority of the meal in the sukkah. On Friday, while rain had been threatened, the weather was actually gorgeous, and we had lunch in the sukkah of people we knew from synagogue but hadn't known too well, and then we had Shabbat dinner with old friends and new friends together. Shabbat lunch, we ate with friends from shul whose youngest son was in town.
On Sunday,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mabfan and I went to shul in the morning and then had breakfast in the shul sukkah. In the afternoon, we went to the home of introverte and 530nm330hz for their open sukkah. Again, the weather was lovely, and we got to see a bunch of friends (many of whom read here) and have good conversations.
Today I'm back in the office, and I'm here tomorrow and most of Wednesday, and then I'm off for the holidays of Shmini Atzeret and Simchat Torah.
Moadim l'simcha!

Over dinner on Wednesday, we were talking about being a Gabbai. And someone said, "Gabbai... gabbai." And I said "hey!"
And then it hit me. That is, of course, the slogan of The Rimons.
