PesachCon, day 2.5

[gnomi]

Am here in Maine for PesachCon. Having an excellent time. Sedarim were beautiful. Family is beautiful. Even the orchestra is beautiful.

GOH Elijah the Prophet/Eliyahu ha Navi no show again this year.

Planning next year's PesachCon, as we do every year, for Jerusalem. Watch this space for location change should Messiah/Moshiach not come this year.

Like at many good cons, sat up late into the evening singing with filkers. Filkers in question sang "Ki Lo Na'eh," "Adir Hu," "Echad Mi Yodeah," and "Chad Gadya" a cappella and with great gusto.

Snow fell. Doonesbury ("I'm a reasonable man, MacArthur...") was quoted frequently by numerous family members.

Tomorrow is the first day of Chol ha Moed. Weather permitting, photos will be taken.

I'm positive that by the end of my stay here, I will have fallen hopelessly behind on my friends list. Please update me here with links if there's stuff I should see/know.

Tee-hee!

Glad to have amused! :-)

From G: maybe your GOH wasn't a no-show; maybe he just stopped by for a quick drink and was on his way to the next panel before you noticed.

Mm, G has a good point. I should ask around, see if anyone saw the GOH around yesterday or today.

HEH! As for my house, we said "May all who are hungry, come and eat," and, well. They came. :|

Here at PesachCon, one thing we're definitely lacking is food. They feed us *constantly*, it seems.

I hope your seders went well.

YM "not lacking". HTH.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

So noted.

He did go to heaven on a pillar of fire, right? It's hard to stop by when that's how you're getting around to these days. It's not like you can valet park it...

Well, yeah, but we're on the ocean, and now there's snow. I think he could find a place to put his pillar of fire for a brief time.

Snow in April?

And from http://www.yorktownhistory.org/

The earliest record of local weather is from Bedford, NY 1894.* That April they recorded 24" of snow from April 11-12th. In 1899, Bedford and Carmel, NY were reporting, and recorded a major snowstorm in February of that year. Bedford recorded 23" of snow from Feb. 12-14th and a total for the month of 37".

We got off lucky -- we only got about 2 inches here in Ogunquit. Could be much worse.

[estherchaya.livejournal.com]

Shmu said it was more like four inches. That exaggerator! (gosh, is that even a word?)

Say hi to the clan for me. I've talked to Shmuel/Sheri and Harold a few times. Sheri says that Becky got some amazing photos and that I should have Becky email them to me, but I've not gotten around to emailing Becky.

I hope you all are continuing to have a marvelous time!
