Kosher-for-Passover Rambly Bits

[gnomi]

-- We've had a good Passover so far - seders at my parents', then back to work on Thurs-Fri for me (MAB's school gives Passover week for vacation), then shabbat. Last two nights of Passover start tonight; I'll be off-line again from tonight until Tuesday night.

-- Today is a run-around-and-get-stuff day. The last time this happened - 7th day Passover eve coinciding with Easter - that I remember was in 1993; it was the day of the Rav's (Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik) funeral, and after the funeral, almost all of the local Jewish community descended upon the Butcherie to purchase last-minute items. I was on a quest for strawberry jam on behalf of a friend who was planning to attend the funeral. And at the time, none of the local mainstream supermarkets were open on Easter (this has since changed), so I joined the madding crowd at the Butcherie. Fun and chaotic all at the same time.

-- "When all you have is a big knife, everything looks like a turkey" - me to my parents, when asked about my glee at carving the aforementioned turkey.

-- To all who are celebrating Easter today, I hope you're having a good holiday; for all who are observing Passover this week, I hope you are all continuing to have a good holiday.

-- Five! Five! Ah-hah-hah-hah-hah! I love to Count the Omer! :-)

You make it sound like chaos isn't usually fun. Chaos is fun. That's what it says in my dictionary, anyway.

It's been that long since the Rav's funeral? Wow... scary.

And someone really needs to make up "The Count Counts the Omer"! I love it!
