Eta, have you thought about contacting rabbis in your area?

contacting rabbis
I already had my shots...
sorry, I couldn't resist.

actually, there is one member of the group that knows Hebrew quite well, but I was hoping to be able to just do some research online. thanks for the thought.

Does being almost 58 count as "oldtime"?

And I'm hoping to make that three.

I got a note from Theresa this morning, looked out at the snow and ice, made another cup of tea, and settled in for a few minutes of AWAD. One of the reasons I kept shying away from even looking in was how intimidating it is to look at the main screen and see that there are something like 9000 new messages.

ANYWAY! I'm alive and well and reveling in my retirement in Western North Carolina. I've been building a workshop in the back to build furniture in, being a full time househusband, and trying to keep this big old house running. Peggy's working full time with a one-hour commute in each direction, so the housekeeping's on me, as well as most of the child-rearing during the week.

All this is in way of apogizing for my disappearing act! I'm gonna try for half an hour to an hour a day for aWAD.

I've missed you people a LOT!

And we have definitely missed you and your inimitable pun making, Ted. Very good to see you here this morning and hope you can make good on that half hour a day! I can't often because of school, but, oh, with this long weekend and now the snow, it is very good to be here.

Father Steve said he limits the number of *fora he keeps up with--I think he said he limits himself to Q&A and this
one, so that might be a good approach for those of us who are pressed during the week.

Best regards,
Theresa

*fora: a word I delight in using, although Father Steve, I don't believe, used it in the post I'm remembering of his.

*fora again edited: Oh, Father Steve, I just read your post and see that you did use *fora! Good for you! Doesn't surprise me. I just couldn't remember your words on the other thread and thought perhaps you'd simply written that you'd posted on Q&A and here--without referring at all to forum, either in the singular or plural.

Yes, you're right. I quite insist on "fora" as the plural of forum. Because it is.

PS: Welcome back, Ted.

welcome back, TEd.
some of us have vainly tried to keep punning alive, but I fear we have failed miserably. at least according to Faldage...

Oh, et', with Ted I just sit back and wait for the
pun-chline! He's in a class by himself!
