i have crabs...papa fidem scit...i'm still laughing... Wednesday, December 27, 2006My supervisor gave me a dreidel and gelt (spelling??) in a "Kwanzaa Yenu Iwe Na Heri" ("Happy Kwanzaa") card. I haven't played dreidel since my childhood days of thinking that everyone but me was Jewish. Oh, the joys of growing up in Saint "Jewish" Park.Remember the game Obo-shin-otten-taten? (Who knows how to spell that??!?) It's the one where you slap hands around a circle, at the end you have to move your hand out of the way when the group gets to the number ten. We used to count in Hebrew at the end. I didn't even know I was speaking a different language. I made Jenny play dreidel with me. We didn't have enough gelt. Also, dreidel is really only fun if you play with more people. If anyone is up for a game, give your dear Gentile friend a call! Happy Hanukkah-as the 50 foot menorah says that is erected each year near my house. Happy Kwanzaa. Merry Christmas. Warm Winter Solstice Wishes.

I'm trying not to be too stressed out, that's my goal anyway. In order to mitigate stress symptoms I have explained to everyone that this week will be hell for me, so please be kind. So far there has been limited rash decisions and no lashings of innocent passerby. I think that is some serious progress over past undergrad years. I'd give myself a pat on the back, but they are stuck in this typing-on-the-keyboard position. See you all in a week. (1) comments.: posted by Kristen 6:30 PM |
