gnomi-- My Pesach prep continues apace. All rooms except the kitchen are mostly done (I have to sweep the living room and dining room floors and change the dining room tablecloth, but that's about it). The kitchen is progressing, which is good.
-- For the first time,mabfan and I are hosting sedarim. We were going to go to lcmlc and Abba's, but mabfan rightly pointed out a bunch of logistical issues that would make going there more difficult (the largest logistical issues being our issue, Muffin and Squeaker). Thus, lcmlc and Abba are coming to us for sedarim. Or, more precisely, lcmlc and Abba's seder is coming to our place, since they're importing with them a lot of the implements for the seder.
-- I now work from home M, W, F. This year, with the way Pesach falls, the only Chol HaMoed day that I would be going into work is Thursday 1 April. My boss, therefore, agreed to let me work from home on Thursday. This means that, while I am selling all the chametz that is in my cube, I am not doing an extensive cube clean this year.
-- Finding kosher-for-Pesach tea means going to Butcherie. I'm trying to decide just how much I need tea for Pesach.
-- Not Pesach-related, but spring related: The Boston Red Sox have again released schedules that are compatible with iCal, Google Calendar, and Outlook. This can be quite useful for those folks who take the MBTA Green Line and whose commute might be affected by a game being played at Fenway. Download the schedule from here: http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/schedule/downloadable.jsp?c_id=bos
-- Also not Pesach-related: Marshall Smith is retiring. I hope he chooses to keep the Brookline store open (the letter says that there are no current plans for the Brookline store, which some are interpreting as no plan to sell the store but I read more ambiguously as "we're not sure what's going on with the Brookline store yet").
-- And also not Pesach-related:mabfan is running in a contested race for Library Trustee. Vote Burstein!
