In preparation for Hannukah, I spoke with Stanley Corngold
of the German Department about the possibility that his retirement would
be his gift to me.
This set the stage for the celebration. Ben was excited to get not one
not two
but three
video games to match the 3 blazers
that came for the women around him. This amused those assembled at the table
as the candles were lit
and more presents were opened
including this Hannukah tray
which served as a centerpiece
as we opened the hannukah kit
and Ben took his video games
to the other room as the hannukah candle holder
got scrutinized by the elders
and the fire
kept on burning.
My plate was clean
which was cause for Lizzie and Sara
to celebrate as Suzanne pondered
bringing on the desserts
to complete the feast.
In the other room, there was discussion
of whether Jane's falling asleep
and Ben's playing a PS2 game
made it an official Havurah. Seva
believed and the computer confirmed
that it was. Happy first night to all.
