on the first night of the variously spelled holiday called channukkah...

[lagilman]

Just back from a day out in da Big City (ooo, the excitement. An eye exam, a stop by my publisher's to wave my arms wildly at my editor, and dinner with my folks). As usual in my somewhat disorganized and religiously chaotic family, we celebrated the first night of Hannukkah by.... having dinner in a French restaurant.

Well, they did light a candle at our table, so that counts, right?

And now home to discover that the cats, having apparently slept all day in perfect harmony (and separate rooms) were now ready and eager to hiss, spit and pounce. *sigh*

On the plus side, got some work on the current Insane Deadline[tm] done, and a large chunk of a new short story written on the bus.


Happies if you celebrate 'em, folks. May the candle wax not drip, the latkes be crisp, and the wine (kashrut or not) be of high quality...

And a peaceful Hannukkah to you.

I went with my mother to the more traditional Chinese restaurant.

Happy Hanukkah!

I always have to use the other spelling, for fear that I will spell it incorrectly and end up wishing someone a "Happy Chaka Khan." I don't know what it is about that "C" that throws me off...
