The Spring holidays are in full tilt now.  I’m cleaning the house for Passover and getting ready to take Grandma and a few guests to Easter Brunch.

I’ve been working on a little surprise for Big Bro: a Racing Easter Basket.  Since he loves car/motorcycle racing so much, I’ve gotten him several racing goodies for his Easter basket. Things like a checkered flag, stickers of local racetracks, a Drift Racing T-shirt and maps of places he can practice dirt biking.  But the…

Today was a much better day.  I came home and had a little free time before Hebrew School started tonight. We don’t have class next week as it’s Passover.  My students are going to participate in the community Seder that I’m leading with a friend of mine.  So far, we’ve got about 30 people coming…

I know it isn’t possible to be happy every minute of every day.  But we are talking overall happiness here.  Surround yourself with places, people and experiences that make you happy.  Your Aunt Bee is correct – you gotta choose to be happy.  I guess that’s why she posted this on her Facebook page.

I had a real scare yesterday: your brother was missing.  Turned out, he’d lost his phone and was with one of his friends looking for it.  I guess it dropped out of his pocket in Food for Less.  But, I was pretty worried. The parents had invited him for breakfast with you all, but he…
