Houston, we have a connection

I am very excited, because we figured out how to connect my computer to the scanner. Wahoo!

When water coolers are alive

Setting: Hot, yet quiet kitchen. A few hours into yom tov, when the kitchen (and its occupants) are still recovering from the mad cooking dash of erev y"t. Suddenly, the water cooler gives an ENORMOUS belch and several bubbles rise to the surface of the water in the container.

Guest (jumping up in alarm): What was that???

Guest: How strange.

Me (shamelessly taking the moment to be immature): Well, it's better than the alternative.

Guest: ......

Me: Oh, never mind.

Especially when you decide to short the sugar.

Grr.
