Students are reading my Write Better Dammit blog. Will it help? The whole thing needs to be rewritten better, dammit, The last one is called What Is a Sentence, Dammit?.

The entire blog was, of course, inspired by the hubski tag #writebetterdammit.

Rosh Hashanah

I now have 16 people (??!!) coming to my erev-erev Rosh Hashanah dinner, including my almost-90-year-old mother, 4 cousins + spouse, 5 siblings, or step-siblings, and their partners, one nephew, one daughter, one friend, and mivasairskiThis is insane, but true. I will write them today and ask them to bring a short statement:

This year I am passionate about ... and

One thing I would like to do this year is ...

There will be much singing.

---

So much more, but I have to move onward into the day. Have a great day, pubski.

Edit Another two people asked if they could be invited. I was going to say "no," but mivasairski said, "If there's room in your heart, there's room at the table." What could I say? 18 people.

Edit 2 The extra two bailed out. Back to 16. :-)

That Rosh Hashanah dinner sounds like a blast. I miss having large family gatherings and the singing that would accompany it.

Enjoy your time together lil.

Glad you're still doing the blog too. I'm off to check it out
