Jennifer & Selena Visit
Jennifer & Selena visited us on 4/27. We love their visits, where we get to catch up on each others’ lives and play some fun games. It’s wonderful having friends like them!
Anniversary Blessing for George & Linda, More Torah
On Saturday 4/17, Val and Haley and I attended Shabbat services at B’nai Emunah, where there was a special blessing for George and Lida’s 25th Anniversary. It turned out that the first Torah reading was most of what I’d read the night before, so Val asked Rabbi Mark if I could read, and he agreed. So I got to read again! Val and Haley and I also had Aliyas, so we had a great time participating in the service.
Sholom Women’s Shabbat Service
On 4/26 I read Torah at the Sholom Women’s Shabbat Service, with Val and Haley there to support me. It was a beautiful service, incorporating content from the celebration of the 100-year anniversary of the Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ). With everything crazy going on in our lives I hadn’t had time to practice my reading, so every night during the week leading up to the service, Val spent a huge amount of time coaching me. Thanks, Val!
Another Panel
On 4/24 I went back to that Human Sexuality class at Notre Dame de Namur University, this time to talk about alternative adult sexuality practices. I had a great time with the panel I’d put together, including my friends Liza and Tyler.
Katelyn Gets Out
Katelyn was released from her second hospital stay on 4/23. This started a period of staying excusively at Kathie’s house, while we work out issues with Katelyn being with us and at our house. I continue to see her regularly. Things are up and down, but we’re optimistic for improvement.
A Weekend Away
Val and I spent a weekend at the IMsL conference in San Francisco 4/18-4/22. It was tough, with Katelyn being in the hospital, but we really needed the time away to take care of our own mental health and to reconnect with each other. We had an awesome weekend.
Katelyn – back in the hospital
Katelyn went back into the hospital on 4/16.
Val: Panel/Presentation
On 4/17, Val visited the Human Sexuality class where I’d previously done a panel. She and another panelist spoke on gender issues.
Hectic weekend of Fundraisers and Swimming for Haley
Haley had a crazy weekend 4/12-4/14. First there was the Millbrae Education Foundation (MEF) Walk-a-Thon at school on Friday. On Saturday she participated in her swim team’s “Lap-a-Thon”. She’d planned on swimming 25 laps or so, but ended up swimming 102! On Sunday she had a swim meet at Oceana HS in Pacifica, which Kathie took her to.
A very hectic weekend, but she had a great time.
Tea Party
On 4/13, our friends Barb and Barbara celebrated their 10th anniversary with a festive High Tea Party. Val and Katelyn and I dressed up and drove to Mill Valley for the occasion. It was a fun celebration of love!
