(Because Twitter is Twitter: I am not a Knicks fan. I am not even a Knicks bandwagoner. I am enjoying my students' joy. My shechita is not Satmar. My kapparos are not alive. My broccoli is, in fact, Bodek. Please refer all other complaints to Shemot 16:7.)

friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"

This week was SAR High School Color War. For those of you who've been following for a while, you know that I usually tweet exclusively about that for a few days every December. In fact, SAR High School Color War is why I got on Twitter in the first place.

We have now been delayed again for ballast, and again because a passenger had to be removed from the plane.

"If you're carrying that much water," he said, "it makes much more sense to get a filtration system and filter water on the trail." (Water weighs 8 lbs/gallon, so carrying 9 liters of water is carrying 20 lbs.) So I did, and it worked perfectly.

A little unnerving, though, to scoop a bottle of water out of a lake and drink it as I look at a frog in the lake waving at me.

I think if more people are doing the activities and enjoying them, more people will want to do them. And of those more, some will want to fully immerse themselves in Gemara study. Or math. (23/n)

Or become the trail runner who passed me three times--running up and down--while I was lumbering my way up the trail, and said supportive things to me every time. (24/24, fin.)
