Oh dear...
Well, I guess every now and then we're each due for a little disruption.
Mine has arrived.
In a few weeks, I will have a Mohs surgery on a small carcinoma right on the nose in the middle of my face.
The day after Labor Day I must finally succumb to a colonoscopy.
And my garage door has stopped working. Spent half the day trying to figure out why and what to do.
Repairmen can't come till Friday.

All of that was counteracted by the visit of a friend-of-a-new-friend, as we wandered between Spanish and English and stories and memories. What a privilege and a delight. And what courage on her part, to make a date to meet a stranger, with no excuse or reason other than the recommendation of a friend. I am honored, and look forward to getting to know her. In Spanish and English.

Tomorrow, early minyan, the visit of another friend of the family, and preparations for---how can it be, so soon?---shabbos.
Good night.
