Post-Pesach Rambly Bits

[gnomi]

-- Y'know, when people order a specific item and I send them that item, they shouldn't then get all cranky that I didn't send them the item they meant to request but didn't actually request. I'm just saying.

-- There's an outside chance that the 111th running of the Boston Marathon will be canceled due to snow. That's just wrong.

-- One of the best things about Pesach this year? Getting to know family members better than I did before and finding unexpected things we have in common.

-- Related to the above, osewalrus and his brother the rabbi are scarily good at earworming me with 80s pop hits.

-- In early March, I got called for jury duty in late April. I asked for a change of venue (due to the inaccessibility of the Dedham court house to public transportation) and got it. When we picked up our accumulated mail from our time away, I found another notice from the courts: my jury service has been canceled (no further information). This does not remove me from the potential jury pool for the next 3 years, alas.

-- Related to the above, I now have to see if I can un-cancel the appointment I'd canceled due to the aforementioned jury duty.

-- mabfan and I are slowly converting our tape collection to mp3. This is a fun, if time-consuming, project.

-- Omer, day 9

Why wouldn't they just postpone the marathon instead of cancelling it outright?

They may end up postponing. Right now, they're not saying anything other than "stay tuned for further updates."

I told our entire Seder about that icon of yours :)

Yay! :-)

You know, I probably should have requested a change in venue for my jury duty so I wouldn't have to spend either a) a bunch of money on parking in Cambridge, or b) a bunch of time taking public transportation to Cambridge, but alas, I report tomorrow morning.

And I heard they were starting the marathon earlier in the day this year, so the runners could avoid the midday heat... oops.

Aw man! I wish I could have been there!
