cellioLicense plate seen tonight: "23 psalm". I wonder what motivates that particular choice in a vanity plate. I'd probably choose a different one, maybe 15 or 145 (though the latter exceeds the character limit).
Dani bought me a Hebrew learning package for my birthday. Woo hoo. It claims to come with word-processing software, but it looks like it's basically fonts and a keyboard layout; I don't know if it will cope with the right-to-left nature of the language. I have a font that I can use with Word, but it's extremely slow going. I hope this is better.
We had a newcomer at services this morning (he just moved to Pittsburgh and is presumably shul-shopping). His name is Dani. He seemed to be delighted to meet someone who knows that that's not necessarily short for Daniel or pronounced Danny. :-) (I didn't ask him if he gets mistaken for a woman on the net; that has happened to my Dani a lot.)
Daily caffeine intake is down to a bit over a liter. Getting there...

Happy Birthday!
In a side note, I'll point out that my caffeine habit is pretty darn close to yours. Good luck with that :-)
Re: Happy Birthday!
Date: 2001-09-23 07:36 am (UTC)The trick to the caffeine thing, I've found, is to make changes gradually. I start on Rosh Hashana to prepare for Yom Kippur (10 days later).
I don't have much useful to say about making permanent changes. About 10 years ago my opthamologist ordered me off of caffeine and I managed somehow, but after a couple years it became apparent that it wasn't making a difference, and she released me.
