This morning at the end of services the rabbi said he had a message for the congregation, and proceeded to translate from a certain postcard. Err, when I said "say hi to the morning minyan", I sort of assumed the postcard would beat me there. :-) (Two weeks.) He praised my Hebrew, I suspect more than it deserved. (I hadn't taken a dictionary with me.) But I figured it was fair to make him and Dani work a little for their postcards. :-)

Before sending it I took a picture:

The only foreign country where the mail can beat you home is probably Canada. We got your postcard this past Sat. :D Thank you.

Wow, you got yours four days before the folks in Pittsburgh did!

Um, my Canadian friends tell me they never send time-sensitive stuff through the mail. It routinely takes a week or more just to get mail across Toronto.

When I was East Kingdom chronicler, I found that the newsletters headed for Canada always took at least an extra week to get there. It was sad when the US subscribers using third-class mail got theirs before the Canadians using first-class mail.
