Cortizone Shot
I had another cortisone shot in my left knee on 3/17. When I first started getting them they helped my knee feel better for months. Now it’s weeks, or less. We’ll see how long this one lasts. The only problem with getting a shot is that I get a terrible headache and feel awful for about a day and a half. Hopefully this one will last a while. Perhaps I’ll get another before we go on vacation in May, so I’m not in pain. My left knee replacement is scheduled for 7/1.
Jay’s Birthday Party
On Sunday 3/16, Val and I went to Jay’s 45th birthday party. It was great to see him, and also to connect with some friends we don’t see very often. Our friend Rocket took a cute picture of the two of us at the party.
Purim
We once again attended the joint Purim Party, held at Temple Beth Judea in San Francisco, with a lot of our B’nai Emunah friends. First there was a potluck, then two Megillah readings (one more traditional, one with lots of “shtick”), then Havdalah, then dessert. After that there was a movie for the kids, and the adults danced to Klezmania. It was fabulous!
Pictures here.
St. Patrick’s Day Parade
On 3/15 I did my usual judging gig in San Francisco for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The kids joined me, with Deejay, and they seemed to enjoy it too. Even though I only judge a few times a year, I really like it.
Shabbat Dinner at Rabbi Mark’s
After the Play-a-thon in 3/14, Haley and I headed over to Rabbi Mark’s house in Pacifica for dinner, where Val and Jason had arrived earlier. It was crowded, but delicious, and the company was great.
9th Grade Orientation/Open House
Haley got a good introduction to Mills, and then wandered around campus with her friends (or, as Jason calls them, the “nerd herd”) for a while at Open House on 3/13.
Car Break-in
On 3/8 Val and I went to the Black Saturday event at the Powerhouse in SF. When we came out around midnight, we found that the front passenger window of my car had been smashed in. The thieves were pretty stupid, taking only a water bottle, a charging cable, and my wrist brace (!). We had to vacuum out the car (we were pointed to a nearby car wash by the police), and it was a cold ride home with no window. I submitted a police report online, and called in to submit a claim. After some mixups with the insurance company, the window was replaced the following Wednesday. What an annoyance!
Visit with Linda
On 3/9 Val and I got to visit with Linda. Val helped her with her computer while I was moderating the panel, and then we met up at a great Thai restaurant.
“Consent Matters” Panel
I moderated a panel on 3/9 called “Consent Matters” to deal with issues of consent violations in the community. It was an honor to be asked, and was attended by about 100 people. Very well done, and an important topic.
Adrien’s Birthday
Adrien’s birthday was on 3/7, but she wasn’t feeling up to visit so I took the kids and went down there on 3/8. We had a delightful lunch with her and Jann and Trev. Val was busy so couldn’t attend, but sent birthday wishes. Deejay accompanied us, and did a great job just hanging out quietly under the table.
