My sister sometimes texts my dad and me pictures of herself before she
heads out to teach The Art of Perception. I’ve
started to follow her lead – mostly to connect with them both each morning.
Today, our thread started with this photo:
Daddy:
Good morning. Fetching, as usual. Off to minyan? L.D.
Me:
Yup. How was the new rabbi?
Daddy:
She conducted a lovely, low-key service. She is very effective & I
think only good things about her. Have a good day. L.D.
Me:
So, I should plan to come for YK?
Daddy:
If you wish, but we have time to talk about it. L.D.
Me:
Indeed.
My Sister:
I just woke up. Why are we talking about Yom Kippur? I am going to have
breakfast.
Me:
Daddy:
I dunno. JEH likes to get her calendar in order early, I suppose. Have a
good day & stay cool. L.D.
Me: My temple already sent info re: tix and choosing services. I’d rather fast
forward right to Columbus Day. (Yes, I admit this is not a terribly
#TragicallyJewish statement, but it is true. I would rather attend services
50 weeks of the year and skip the HHDs entirely. Anyone else?)
Daddy:
YK is not until Oct. 9. (I wonder if he knew that off the top of his head
or if he had to look it up.) We can talk about it. Not to worry. L.D.
