feste_sylvainFriday night: Seder. This all went well, with a good dollop of mirth, and more actual Jews at the table than Gentiles. As a minor aside, but one which is still hurting me, I stumbled and tripped over Canterbridgian bricks and really banged up my right knee. It looks like just a scrape, about the size of an apricot's shadow, but it hurts like crazy when I kneel on it.
Saturday: both kids were at Anime Boston, so I took the chance to catch up on my encryption class's lectures and homework. According to my interpretation of my homework scores, I'm doing about B-/C+ work, but this is without taking notes or referring to the lecture slides (the lectures themselves are videos). Therefore, I'm testing only what I remember, and this tells me that I'm absorbing the material. So that's good. Were I taking this for credit, I'd be putting in the extra effort to ace it, but in my home environment, I can maintain this effort level (at the cost of missing some outside-the-home events).
Sunday: Easter dinner at my parents, with my four and my brother's two. This was low-key, for the most part. My teenagers acted like teenagers, mostly polite, but with the occasional hair-trigger awkward bits. Far more amusingly, my brother has the part of The Narrator in a local production of Frank Zappa's "The Tale of Greggery Peccary", which will be performed at noon on Friday, July 13 in Lexington. The score is insane, including a measure in 23/32.
Today, I got my younger's allergy medication in to the school nurse for their trip to D.C. Tomorrow, at 4am, I get to deliver her to the school in time for her middle-school class to clamber onto the bus, and then I have a dentist appointment at 9am. Blear.
