Erev Shabbat Rambly Bits

[gnomi]

-- This time of year, Shabbat starts crazy-late. This leads to extreme laziness on the part of the gnomi. What I mean is, in the winter, when Shabbat comes in at 3:53 PM, I do all my cooking Wednesday night and Thursday night. This time of year, when Shabbat comes in after 8:00 PM, I get lazy and sometimes (such as this week) don't even start my cooking until Friday afternoon. Today? There will be much pre-Shabbat flail.

-- Today is the 103rd anniversary of the General Slocum disaster. mabfan has a post with more info.

-- This morning, I read the obituary of Guy de Rothschild, the great-great grandson of Mayer Rothschild and the grandson of the youngest of Mayer's children, James(AKA Jacob, I believe).

-- Overwhelmingly, people think I should get both types of penguin beads. Thanks to all who voted.

I was fascinated by the Rothschild family when I was a kid, probably because of the musical with Hal Linden. Sad that Guy has passed, but 98 is an excellent run.

Always glad to enable bead acquisition. Or fabric acquisition. Or just about any kind of nifty stuff acquisition. [grin]

Have a lovely Shabbat!

shrug.. I guess my wife and I are lazy just about every week of the year, though you wouldn't think it if you stopped by my house on a Friday afternoon about an hour before sunset.
