Night at the Museum

SDJA annual gala - this year at the Museum of Natural History.  We were greeted at the door by Teddy Roosevelt, chatted with Amelia Earhart, and posed with a caveman shortly before being eaten by a shark. Very exciting evening!

Sorry, Mr. Rusty

It's the "back up" photo of the day...taken by Swami's.

Turn Yourself Around

It's on a Pepto Bismol pink VW in Encinitas - usually parked in front of the Massage Envy.  I got SO excited the other day to see it because of the bumper sticker that says "Sorry I missed church. I was busy practicing witchcraft and becoming a lesbian",  (a wonderful response to Pat Robertson.). But, the sticker is no more - although I can still see a tiny bit of what's left underneath.  This is cute, but not the same.

Valentine Gelt

Not guilt...GELT.   It always makes me grin and shake my head when I see the matzah at Hanukkah, or boxes of Shabbat candles at Easter. If one didn't know better, one could put out Christmas lights at Easter or colored eggs for St Patricks Day. So, I guess I'll just smile when I see the Hanukkah gelt next to the Valentine candy.

Carlsbad Half

Really, it's my LAST half marathon.  About mile 5, I hit the wall and  wondered why I was doing this again for the 6th time. About mile 8,  my knees and I were walking about half the time but had made the way around the wall. At mile 12, I started to remember the endorphin high at the finish line.  Thanks, Jeanne...see you at the Mud Run!

Pre-Race Carbo Load

Team SDJA (Daniel, Beni and me) at our usual pre-race photos. We decided to eat lunch with some younger team members Daniella and Levy.  Good Luck tomorrow!

IDF Singers

This group of IDF soldiers/singers came from Israel to perform a show for our school.  The dark haired girl in green was also a contestant in the "Israel Idol" competition.
