rhuShemini Atzeret was nice. My Geshem went pretty well, and then it rained. :-)
Simchat Torah --- well, let's just say that as proud as I am of our community, and as much as I enjoy our services the rest of the year, our Simchat Torah celebration pretty much doesn't work for me.

introverte says, once you've spent your college years celebrating Simchat Torah at the Tremont Street Shul (tremontshul), nothing else will ever compare. (At least, back when Rabbis Shevitz and Waldocks were running the show. I hear it's still great, but I can't vouch for it personally.)
Anyway, once I'm caught up, that's it for this season. Let's see, there are a bunch of puzzles I need to catch up on....
