quick summary

Starting last week:
Sun in the library at the JCC and then up all night preparing for
Mon presentation at DC Beit Midrash about the double Torah portion Tazria-Metzora. It was my first time speaking publicly in quite a while and the first time I taught something like this ever. Script or summary available on request.
...(i forget this part bu it involved a lot of working)...
Thu got bike fixed and went on a ride with Toby
Fri woke up early to get into work, then missed the train I was planning on taking to my cousin Sam's bar mitzvah. Actually, I had meant to reserve a car, but the place I knew on Bethesda Ave had either shut down or is no longer a Budget. Anyway, I took the train that got me to PHL by 7, left my phone on the train, reported it, and took an $85 cab ride out to my hotel in Frazer, PA. I got to the hotel, walked through the electronic doors, opened my room door with an electric keycard and at 8:30, I looked at the clock. I did not make shabbat.
Sat Bar mitzvah reception was great. Saw family, met a cousin's significant other and that woman's child, generally enjoyed myself. Took a train back to DC to arrive at my house on
Sun at 1 am where I cooked and ate a pot of rice and lentils, got ready for the next morning and went to sleep. Next morning, I biked 50 miles for Hazon, and had a great time doing it. Except for getting a bit lost toward the end. It would have been great if they gave out a route map ahead of time. Then dinner at Veggie Garden with a bunch of people.
Mon had drinks with people in honor of a friend's conversion. Yay! Then DCBM followed by more drinks.
Tue worked late and hung out with a friend after that.
...(we'll see)...
Fri going to NYC for the weekend.
