"So let it be written..."

I am sitting on my couch, waiting for Cecil B. DeMille's 1957 "The Ten Commandments" to load on megavideo. Naftali questioned my motives: "Don't you think you should wait until Pesach to watch it?"
"No," I replied, "I'm pre-gaming".
The Mt. Paramount with it's sunset landscape behind, epic biblio-drama soundtrack booming in the background has gotten me shivering with excitement. This is my favorite springtime tradition. I wish dad was here to set up the surround sound.
Things that have been happening: I've been screen printing more. If you want a Carl Sagan T-Shirt with "We Will One Day Venture to the Stars" printed in yiddish on it...speak now!
I got a ton of pottery bisque fired, so one more firing and i'll be a bit more of a morning person with my CoffeeWorld coffee in a homemade mug.
I rented this FANTASTIC book from the Bezalel library called "Food Design XL". It's incredible and interesting. I think i want to be a food designer when i grow up. (is that now?)
I posted a lot of my artwork on facebook because it takes FOREVER to post art on this blog...Like 1 hour for 5 photos. Not really worth it. Maybe i should get a Flickr or something.
I dreamt about sesame bagels last night.
Happy birthday, Dad! You put the "MAN" in "Shemantra".
I have no idea how i'm going to sell my chametz or kasher my kitchen or make that infamous matzah brittle. But I'm going to do the best i can do. It's what hashem, ha kadosh barchu, would have wanted.
"...So let it be done!"
