the view from the apartment in santa monica etc.

is always wonderful. the waves are really rolling in. the wind is blowing more now. the beach is almost cleared at 7:00 pm. dinner is almost ready. we went to the movies "The Brothers Bloom" which had some great moments and a few wonderful lines. ("i think what you have is constipation of the soul.") Adrien Brody is wonderful as is Rachel Weisz.

tomorrow i return to SJ early to be part of the dedication of the community mikvah. that will be a lot of fun (i hope). i will be one of the presenters, on using the mikvah to mark the end of a year of mourning.

moving right along is next week's Pride Shabbat (10 AM Saturday the 13th at Temple Emanu-El), followed by the Pride Parade on Sunday, for which i seem to be the organizer of the jewish contingent because no one else was doing it and we need to be there.

and airplane ticket for israel. yes urgently. cat/house-sitter arranged for most of the trip which is wonderful.

and to use one of my father's phrases, "and so it goes."
