The Lull, part 22
Post-new year's recovery: No champagne and parties on our new year, but lots of hour logged in beit knesset and way too much food consumed. Nadine, allowed to gorge herself on homemade challah, works off some of the calories by throwing a tantrum when one of the neighbor's cats comes into the yard.
Snakes in a shul: A visiting knee-biter livens up services by running in clutching a large rubber snake. He shakes it vigorously and then stampedes back outside. He is not accompanied by Samuel L. Jackson.
New year, same old news: Another Moslem cleric calls for holy war against the Pope. Meanwhile, the south is still getting hit by rockets fired from Gaza.
Olmert and Abdullah: It now appears that PM Olmert and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia met secretly about ten days ago. Or maybe it was Olmert and a senior Saudi official. Point is, there is some sort of diplomacy going on, which is probably a good thing.
Quote of the day: uh, isn't this a contradiction in terms?
SMS as a policy initiative: Now you can use SMS for more than sending annoyingly cryptic messages to friends or voting for your favorite competitor on some shlocky local reality show. Now you can initiate a new Knesset proposal.

The only times I seem to be able to catch up on reading your blog is in the middle of the night when I have a bad attack of insomnia. I must admit that your various links have kept me entertained, especially the cat that got gold caps on its protruding lower teeth, and the video of the 40-lb. cat (amazing that it can actually still make it up the stairs)!
I included a link to your blog in my annual Rosh Hashanah newsletter, which goes out to a couple hundred people, so you might start getting more hits.
Much love, and Shanah Tovah, your sister Tracy
