Quiddler and Shabbat

[rhu]

introverte and I were playing Quiddler over Shabbat, and she played IGRY knowing that I wouldn't dare challenge.

This morning I went to the Adams St. shul for a babynaming. (Two, actually. Twins.) It was my first time at a nusach s'fard service and I will admit that I found the minor differences in the liturgy somewhat disconcerting. But the babies are beauties, their names are lovely, and my friends are glowing with joy.
