This year we had two lovely, very inquisitive non-Jews at our Seder.
I did my best.
Guest: “And what does the maror symbolize?”
Me: “The bitterness of slavery.”
Guest: “And the charoset?”
Me: “The mortar the slaves used between the bricks when they were building for the Eygptian pharohs.”
Guest: “And how about the shank bone?”
Me: “That represents how the slaves passed the time all those years in the desert.”
(Silence)
Me: “They boned.”

(Not quite as prolific as my first guest blogger, but then he is a man….)
This one goes out to the supportive loved ones of people who struggle with mental illness– friends, family, significant others– ALL of you who stick with us through the ups and downs.
We know we’re not always easy. But you love us anyway, listen when it must be unbearably hard to listen, and check in even when you know the response will not be positive.
And most important, you keep us laughing.
Thank you.
I regret introducing these two.
On why he likes Eric…
Due to Eric having diabetes and a general understanding of what humans should eat, he has had a very positive influence on my diet.
Andrew is ruining everything.
That marks the first time I’ve seen her excited about something.
So who’s YOUR favorite character?
My vote is for Mom.
Creativity. Emotions. Enthusiasm.
Never her strong suit.
Luckily Andrew is still dumb.
30 minutes later…
I assume Jeremy is still asleep.
Eric will be gone for 5 days at the Golf Masters. I don’t see why the details are important.
