Monday night – Shana Tova

Shana Tova everyone. Today is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.. A time when  you think about the the year that’s just past, and make plans, goals and commitments fo the  year thats coming. I spent the day quietly here at home with the dogs. I didn’t feel like going to temple.. but did spend most the  the day thinking. I was thinking about how grateful I am for the love I have around us, our families and , the beautiful  place we live.

I ate soem apples and honey as part of my wish for a sweet new year

 

I’m trying to think about what  I  might do differently in this coming year.. I’m hoping to goof off more and worry less. How’s that for a resolution..

 

It’s traditional to recite the praye Alvenu Malkeinu.. 

Hear our prayer
We have sinned before Thee
Have compassion upon us and upon our children
Help us bring an end to pestilence, war, and famine
Cause all hate and oppression to vanish from the earth
Inscribe us for blessing in the Book Of Life
Let the new year be a good year for us
Avinu malkeinu sh’ma kolenu
Avinu malkeinu chatanu l’faneycha
Avinu malkeinu alkenu chamol aleynu
V’al olaleynu v’tapenu

Kaleh dever v’cherev v’raav mealeynu

Sunday night – hot air

nce again, I spent the entire day home with the dogs. it was SO nice. I had a ton of work work to do .. which was actually kinda fun.. and I wrote a bunch more code fore an art project I’m helping with. If it hadn’t been a call from our friends Deb , Frank and Nick I wouldn’t have gotten more than 300m from the house today. They invited me over to hote air bal;loons we’d given them in honor of their wedding…. which was10 years ago !!!

well. .they were still fresh !

Saturday night – nobody

Add a lovely day at home by myself with the dogs. Hardly talked to a soul all day which is unusual for me and was a good practice… It’s fun to be on my own every once in a while… But a little goes a long way .

Not much to report… Took the dogs for a couple of walks, jumped in Honey Hollow which was pretty cold… Did some work work and some housework… And spent a lot of time talking to the dogs.

Later this afternoon I sat down to start working on a hardware project for a friend of mine who’s doing an art exhibit at the upcoming maker fair. I sat down and the next thing I know it was five hours later. The good news is I learned a whole lot about a barn2 Lenix running on and fanless industrial computer

OK but that that that’s it for now.

Night Nite all, nite Sam
