What has happened lately? Well:
This morning, a very dear friend of mine is in the hospital having a girl removed. This will be her second child. I can't imagine. Congratulations on the birth, and here's to hoping your daughter doesn't grow up to be a war criminal! (PS -- thank you Ethan for pointing me to the video linked to above)- Friends are coming here for the High Holy Days this weekend. I can't wait, although I am also a little apprehensive because I don't think that this trip can live up to their previous visit last summer when we lived in a place that had fun neighbor children. Now our neighbors are all uptight, youngish white professionals or silent, grizzled addicts from the halfway house down the street.
