( After the Dinner Party )
Am posting very early (i.e., late the night before) because we will be out all morning for Mitzvah Day at our synagogue, which in our case will mean volunteering at a local school for disadvantaged children. My sister is coming into town with her three girls so we will undoubtedly be tied up visiting with them, too. And Maryland won, meaning that we will all be gathered around the TV to see whether they can beat Duke for the ACC title...unlikely, but at least the Terps will likely get a good tournament draw now.
Had in-laws here today; ate a lot, did some hiking, played with the kids, watched the Maryland and Connecticut games which both ended favorably. Spent a quiet evening looking at this screen and finished all three articles for which I am responsible tomorrow since I won't be here most of the day to work on them.
This is not really true but what the heck:
Which 1990's Subculture Do You Belong To?
[Another Quiz by Kris @ couplandesque.net]
And this is UTTERLY not true! Gacked from ![[info]](http://img.greatestjournal.com/userinfo.gif) beckyo who is apparently a bigger threat than I am; I think her results apply better to me than this one! Must work on becoming a much better threat.
Threat rating: extremely low. You may think you can
subvert the government, but if you should try
you will be smited mightily because God likes us best.
What threat to the Bush administration are you?

This post is for the benefit of seleneheart in particular. *big smooches, condolences and see you in the big show*
Back from Mitzvah Day at the Abram Simon school, which I hadn't realized was a block down from the high school in DC where there have been all the shootings we've been watching on the news. It was a bit chaotic but the kids (ours, the ones from our synagogue and the students and families from the school) had a really good time. So many people came that they ran out of food and had to order more. We were mostly in the arts and crafts rooms, decorating bags and boxes and stuff -- my kids can draw monsters on fabric for hours -- but we also got to see a breakdancing demonstration and some cheerleader-type dancing.
In a few minutes we are picking up the kids from a friend's house and going to my parents', where my sister is visiting with her three girls. Everyone is sure to be in a good mood about the Maryland game, except perhaps my sister who is waiting to see the outcome of the Wisconsin game that's on now. I have conflicting information on whether Penn or Princeton won the Ivy title...ESPN said Penn, the paper says Princeton. So I may be even happier or slightly grumpier later.
ETA: Have just learned that seleneheart was deprived of watching the final minutes of overtime because her local station switched games! Must apologize for taunting. |
