stray thoughts while davening

Sometimes while praying I notice things in the text and make mental notes about them, but usually they don't survive until the time when I can do something about them. (And anyway, when I'm praying I'm trying to pray, not study the liturgy or the language.) Nonetheless, a few things have survived in the buffer.

( some wording things, and verb tenses in prayer )

Tangentially related (maybe), it looks like I won't be taking a Hebrew class this fall. The person who's teaching the section I would be in has a teaching approach that is not a good match for my learning approach. (Was that diplomatic enough? :-) ) I really liked the teacher we had this summer, but she's only doing daytime classes (during work hours) this fall. So I either wait until spring (not necessarily bad) or find some other way to continue. A fellow congregant is getting private lessons from the teacher I like and suggested (a couple months ago) that I join her, so maybe I'll do that. I could, of course, spend the time on my individual study of biblical Hebrew; I'd like to be more fluent there.
