 Dear Readers,
There’s so much I’d like to write on, but the Jewish new year begins in but a few hours. For the next few days I will be celebrating the holiday with my family and friends.
I wish all who celebrate a healthy and sweet new year.
To everyone else, enjoy these days!

Dear Readers,
It’s a quiet, warm and breezeless day here in Manhattan.
I’ve been at the hospital for much of the time lately, visiting with my Dad. Being there brings back all kinds of memories. I could write an essay about it, in a flash, but I don’t feel like doing so, so I won’t.
Not an easy week.
All for today,
ES

This week a close relative was hospitalized and turns out to have a serious condition. He’s not a blog-lover, so I’ll keep this abstract:
When a loved one gets sick, you have to take care of yourself. It’s hard to do your work, and to be there 24⁄7 for the rest of your family, and to eat nutritious, non-hospital cafeteria-type meals, and to find time to run or swim or whatever it is you do to take care of the one life you have.
So I’ll go to the gym today, just for half an hour. I’ll gor for a swim tomorrow, even if it’s just for half my usual laps: 30 minutes is better than no time in the water; 20 minutes is OK too, far better than not going at all. My intention is to keep up my routine, albeit reduced and adjusted, through what will hopefully be a long haul.
And I’ll write when I can.

 Dear Readers,
Today my younger son will graduate from high school. We’ve got a slew of festivities lined up. I’m happy and excited, and think it wise to sign off for a few days.
Enjoy the weekend!
