So, I actually showed up at the Tuesday night Diesel thingy today, first time ever. For non-Bostonians, folks meet at the Diesel Cafe in Davis Square every Tuesday night.

I didn't entirely intend to, it's just that my boss at Hebrew school thought it'd be a good idea if the woman I'm gonna be co-teaching with and I met socially at some point before Hebrew school started, so he took us both out to dinner at Diva, which is an Indian restaurant which is right smack across the street from Diesel. So, since Lis and I showed up to Davis Square a bit early, we killed some time at Diesel.

Things I did today include mailing two boxes to undauntra which I was supposed to have mailed several days ago, but I didn't know we had them, because there were three boxes in the back seat of the car, and I mailed them, and Lis never mentioned that, in addition to the three boxes in the back seat, there were ALSO two boxes in the trunk; a doctor's appointment where I mentioned that my antidepressant doesn't seem to be doing anything useful anymore and we have no insurance anymore anyway; returning books and videos to the Cambridge Public Library and also getting out the most recent Callahan's novel; stopping into Diesel briefly; and meeting my co-teacher for Hebrew school, who is a grad student at Brandeis in their "Coexistence and Conflict" program, so she's clearly setting herself up for one of the most difficult jobs imaginable, and also one of the most important. I haven't the foggiest idea how one would go about trying to put a divided and warring culture back together -- or, frankly, together in the first place -- but I certainly hope that SHE does have ideas. And that they work.
