Happy Passover!

Tried having a Seder with the wife, the three year old and the 6 month old girls. I come from a long family history of "4+ hour seders"...

We lasted about 8 minutes before I was sitting at the table alone drinking wine. The three year old was running around the house yelling "dayenu, dayenu" over and over again and the six month old and the wife escaped to the bedroom to feed in peace. Somehow, I managed to get the infant to bed, the afikomen hidden and then found, and the wife and I and the three year old finished off the manischeiwitz (the wife and I, not the three year old) and concluded the Seder with jelly fruit slices, which are apparently like crack to my three year old.

I simply can't remember ever liking those endless seders...but I sure missed having one of them this week.

never bought the manischevitz or gefilte fish this year either. and friends up the street had to leave a box of matzah on our door stoop.
Had enough (unexpired) matzah meal for The Lovely Caren to make her great matzah balls (how do you spell kanadels?) though, so that connected me to 60 plus years of my personal family tradition.

read an opinion/editorial in the newspaper the other day likening our current stay-at-home to avoid this virus to the Hebrew slaves staying in to survive plagues in Egypt.

Attended one Seder when I was younger.
Now I understand why you Jews feel so oppressed...

We do the whole Seder using a set of children's Haggadah. 15 to 20 minutes maximum. Boom! Done.
When the kids were real young, we used to allow them to color on them during the Seder.

Pffft... if it was up to me, we'd already BE there. Wife was contemplating leaving work in October, but I think she wants to keep going because she completed the stupid gov't background check they wanted her to do after working there for 28 years. She works for Navy Gateway Inns & Suites on the base in Coronado. They're being taken over by Navy Lodge in October. Required fingerprinting and background check... to work in the same building she's been working in for 28 years...

thank you bruddah.
I'm seeing signs that keep me hopeful...

I made a decent chicken soup tonight but bought the matzah balls (and 3.5lbs of chicken backs and necks and stuff) yesterday from an ultra Kosher market down the block from the ultra Orthodox synagogue where Caren and I both got the second Moderna shot.
Caren said she can't make her recipe for only a few and I'm the only one of the two of us who eats matzah balls, so I told her I'd make the soup too...hers is soooo great though.

T minus 13 until we are fully vaccinated!

And Happy Passover all y'all...feels great to be free.

Ahhhhhhh... free at last, thank God almighty.... free at last.

Nope. Sorry. That was mah bruthas back in 1865. Then again in 1965. Pretty sure we alls been free since then. We got rules and stuff that the democrats thought was necessary. Minorities can't succeed without the white mans help don'tcha know...

Now I ask you... who is racist? The man who believes everyone can succeed, or the man who believes minorities can't succeed without help? Who is racist? The man who believes everyone should vote with an ID, or the man who believes minorities can't get an ID without help?

Everyone of age has an ID. Why is it that democrats don't want voter ID? Weird. Odd. Strange. Downright fkn Twilight zone.
