Gut Shabbos Brother! Just glad Christmas and your sabbath worked out like that.

Thank You for the work you did here. It's been frustrating and you have provided guidance. Apologies for my tendencies to become a jackass pretty damn fast.

On an aside, I think you just created a new family.

La Chiam,

On a personal philosophy note, I became aware of how important literacy is early on. As an Irish Catholic, my life long brother is a Jew. I learned the Torah in Hebrew while he practiced reciting it for his Bar Mitzvah from taped recordings on a lent out Honeywell Reel-to-Reel. "Baruch afto ashem. Baruch afto addenoi..."

Been a fan of rote learning and engrained literacy for rites-of-passage ever since.

Steve lent me a suit while serving as the best man at my wedding when I flew home from a remote deployment to get married in Jersey. He lent me $500 in 1984 when I needed to cover a rental deposit when I started up with Lockheed.

Still arguing whether I ever paid that back, or dry cleaned the damn suit. I insist I did both.

To Life!!!!
