Flu and Allergies...

Wednesday Apr 7, 2004

So I'm not dying...phew! But it looks like I'm nursing a flu and I've been having bad seasonal and food allergies. Fun times, I know!

On the positive side of things the White Sox finally pulled it together (Read: they only lost once but I'm just that impatient with them). I'm sure it won't last, but at least I have the comfort of knowing that everyone on earth except the people of Japan and New York will be rooting for them as they take on those putrid and evil Yankees. Hate those Yanks!

Next week is another L.A. trip. I'm going to start interviewing hopefully and just enjoy some nice weather while there is no teaching to do. I will not be too specific about the job search here since potential employers may be reading so I'll just say I have thousands of offers and I'm really just trying to sort through all of them (Read: unemployment is still at a high and that isn't helping my cause).

I have recovered from Monday's failures and last night was able to enjoy a wonderful seder at Tamra and Anne's home. All of the finest homemade Passover staples were part of the meal including new additions "crying eggs" and "crying potatos." Its a Jewish thing. OH AND GET THIS.....I FOUND THE AFIKOMEN!!! Its been since 1987 or something horrible like that since I found my way to the hidden treasure. Oh I'm sorry, for all you non-Jewish folk out there, the afikomen is a piece of matzah that is hidden during the seder and retrieved for a prize. Now this task is supposed to fall upon the children present but we were all of adult age so I was brought out of retirement and found a way to end that ugly ugly dry spell. Thank goodness for Matzah!

And finally...on an eerie note...I brought two yalmukas (thats Jew-hats to you Goys), and it turned out they were from Dan Singer's and my Bar-Mitzvahs way back in 1993 (the sixth anniversary of my afikomen drought). Anyway later in the evening I was inspecting mine more closely and realized that my Bar-Mitzvah took place on September 11th, 1993. Very Eerie. Which of course can mean only one thing. Absolutely nothing.

Off to buy vitamin C, Zinc, and veggies....ewwww :)
