If any of you guys are celebrating Chanukkah, have a happy one!

For years I've celebrated it for just one night, by dining with my family. My dad's latkes beat anything I ate for Thanksgiving. I still have trouble remembering the reason for the holiday, even after rereading the first half of the OT.

Last night was one of the latest dinners I've ever had. We were waiting for my sister's boyfriend to come from a night class. He eventually called and said he couldn't make it.

Aww, shame you guys had to wait so long and he couldn't come anyway.

I've had a vague idea for a long time. Someday, I think I should actually read Maccabees.

I've read I and II Maccabees in two translations. Unfortunately, a lot of the history books run together in my mind. But by all means, read 'em.
