The real scoop on Hanukkah

 Overnight last night the illegal gambling den/brothel had a banger of a night, and this made it hard to sleep. I only got a few hours' sleep and then surprised myself by getting up in time to go to a class being held at the temple  - separate from the Intro To Judaism thing - and there I learned the real scoop on Hanukkah, a thing we were supposed to learn last Tuesday but did not. 

After class I went over to Whole Foods and had a slice of pizza, then rode over to Walmart for things, got more things at Nijiya, then got back here and packed 5 things that were small enough that I figured I could get them into the drive-through mail boxes anyway. But the doors were open and the chute working, so dropping them off at the post office was no problem. 

I stopped at Tom's to hang out a bit on my way back but his wife was there and they were having a fine fight over how bookmarks and tabs and things work in Windows. Tom said he was "kind of stuffed" so he didn't want any of the mochi I brought by, but I gave a couple to his wife and took off. She doesn't visit that often and I didn't want to butt in, especially if they were going to wind up to a good old fight. 

I got back here and ate and eventually packed the 5 things I had left, to take with me tomorrow. Tomorrow's going to be dry and Tuesday rained out.
