The Usual

Tonight had dinner with one of the brown hoods. Very nice. We had not seen each other for a while and there had been meetings and so we exchanged business news. He is going to the Holy Land shortly and I will be going to Hawaii. His is a vacation and mine is taking in a biblical conference with Brant Pitre. I like his stuff. Next week I will be sweating it out because I have to get the house in shape for the birdie. Cockadoos like clean houses. All the friends are saying that the rabbi had to have a hand in it that the birdie is visiting. Well, yes, it is fun to be connected to people who don't kick you in the shin but are sweet......and helpful. I have been thinking if the birdie gets some kind of honorarium for visiting? Will have to inquire about that next week. There are 15 people on my list and the branch manager will also get an invitation. I'd invite the rabbi but he is probably glad not to be with the birdie. Anyway, the rabbi can visit any time.
