Dear Family,
I blinked and suddenly it’s Friday?
What happened to the week? It was just Monday a minute ago!
Well, it was very, very hot around here – generally up into the 3 digits. Where we live is definitely one of the hottest parts of the City of Los Angeles. (You can see it on the TV weather maps.)
In Europe and Mexico and other countries, in weather like this, they have a civilized custom – they take a siesta in the middle of the day when it’s hot. Then come back to work a couple of hours later – and work later into the day. But it’s cooler and people are refreshed. We should institute this policy in Southern California.
Anyway, upcoming is Labor Day weekend. Kind of a last hurrah for beach parties, barbecues and free outdoor concerts and picnics. Go out and indulge and have a lovely time. When it’s all over, you’ll be facing a long time of drudgery and work – at least until Rosh Hashanah on September 12th,…then another long, uninterrupted span of work…until Septemeber 21st…and so it goes. (Have you noticed that everyone is Jewish on these holidays, so they can take the days off? Frankly, I think we should all, always, celebrate all of each others’ holidays, don’t you?)
