a seasonal request

[cellio]

We are now in the Ten Days of Repentance, the period of time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur when we go into overdrive to try to repair any damaged relationships we have with each other.

If there is anything which I did over the past year which hurt or upset you, please let me know. If you want to discuss it publically, please leave a comment below; if you'd like to discuss it privately, send me email (address is in my profile).

I will do my best to make amends and make right anything which I have done wrong.

I don't promise that I can. But I do promise that I will try.

Nope, you didn't succeed in hurting or upsetting me. You'll have to try harder, or, failing that, come back to Harold's Purim seudah. :)

Purim is on a Sunday this year, so Harold's is a possibility. Alternatively, however, I might try to host one myself to save 9 hours of driving, assuming Dani is ok with such a thing happening in a house he's trying to live in. :-) (We must confer.)

I'm so freakin' happy that Harold has moved. I can now walk (okay, stumble) back from his place if I need to. :)

Your house would be a wonderful place to have one in, assuming you can negotiate successfully. Of course, the trip is worth the drive...shame our fair cities aren't closer together.

Woo hoo! One of the challenges of attending Harold's wondeful seudah that one year was that I had to arrange for a driver who was interested in going to a Purim seudah but willing to be mostly sober. That's such an unfair request! But it was such fun, and I don't know if I could stimulate a similarly festive gathering myself. We'll see.

Best of luck.

I liked this sentiment: may the best of last year be the worst of next year!

It helps to have a friend who enjoys road trips and your company, plus gets an upset stomach long before the alcohol makes a dent anywhere else.

Maybe not as crowded, but if Polyhymnia bacchanalia parties are any indication, certainly as raucous.

I either didn't know or, more likely, had forgotten about the upset-stomach thing. I'm glad I wasn't preventing you from indulging to the level you would have otherwise sought. :-)

True. It all depends on the crowd. (Now you've got me speculating about the local Jewish SCA folks...)
