A Damper on Things

Ugh.

Passover seder last night: It was very nice seeing my Boston family, but the younger kids at the seder gave me a headache and I wasn't very hungry. Also, the English "equivalents" of Passover songs are quite awful (worse if you actually sing them). Passover is the only Jewish tradition I really like... I should try to find a more traditional seder, I guess. But I don't want to miss the chance to spend time with my family...

Marty's mom decided at the last minute that she did feel well enough to go to the seder, then something happened while she was at the seder (she had a stroke, possibly) and some people took her to the hospital. I really hope she's all right...

I almost ended up going to a less traditional seder. You know, the type where most of the people there aren't jewish and the food's not kosher.

As long as there's no bread...

I hope she's okay!
By younger kids you mean Amy and Sarah? How'd they give you a headache?

[l33tminion]

No, some boys who were younger than Amy and Sarah. They were really loud.

You don't like the English versions, I can see that. But I can't do Chad Gadya in Hebrew. Since the parents of our guests wanted to do it in Hebrew, we did both at once. It was some racket, but lots of fun.

That's even worse, IMO. The noise would drive me crazy.

Sam, I guarantee you my dad "singing" Chad Gadya would give you an even bigger headache. At least I don't have to hear it for another year...

Oy.
