the news in brief
I babysitted today for the first time since moving out here, and I'd like to report that children in LA are no different from children in Massachusetts; at least those ones who've recently moved from Colorado.
Since our bike is stolen and Leah had the car all day at the conference, I had to ride the bike Kimberly bought for the store a couple times, and was I ever embarassed. It's one of those big cruiser things, with the wide seat and the high handlebars, and while that kind of thing might work for some people, for some people in California, I just wasn't diggin it. I felt like quite a tool, truth be told.
It turns out I didn't have allergies at all, just a cold. So in traditional fashion, I fed it; and in doing so I discovered what is surely destined to become tradional Passover fare the world over: cream cheese and horseradish sandwich--on matza, natch. Good stuff.
I went to church this evening for Good Friday, but I didn't like the service nearly as much as the ones I'm used to back home. No fair. Why do people do things differently than how I'd have them do them?
