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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Damn, I almost went to Diesel tonight. I felt that with the apartment in chaos from everyone moving I'd better stay home instead in case anyone needed anything.

Be prepared to cry when you read the newest Callahan's. But it's so much better than Key was.

Of *course* you show up at Diesel on the Tuesday when we're bone-tired and have chores to do. *sticks out tongue at you*

Argh! Why is it that so many things that I'd want to do, meets on Tuesday nights? It's almost as though I had a life! :) (Vox Lucens, Christmas Revels, Bookcrossing meetups, and this makes #4.)

Coexistence and Conflict an interesting program concept to be involved in. I fear that it will be needed one day to deal with the way our own country is going. No matter who wins the election I'm expecting a general breakdown between the right and the left to continue until we return to the state of unrest that we reached in say 67-70, when things like the Detroit Riots and such occurred.
