Deadline Met

I survived the deadline. Can't give more details, except to say that to actually cross the finish line I needed to write hundreds of pages and stay up for 33 straight hours. The next day, the four of us went up to Boston to spend the weekend looking at houses and shuls. Upon our return, Monday morning, we had the kids' doctor's appointments back-to-back (which sounded like a great time-saving idea when it was first scheduled, but it turned out to be a disaster). Monday morn, upon arising after the 33 hour then 4 day ordeal I threw out my lower back and have been lying incapacitated for a while. I'm too old for this stuff, it appears.
