personal update (xposted in a reply in anamacha)

Not much new here, but no news (or the absence of bad news) can be good news. There are areas of concern with siblings and parents, but here in the eye of the storm it's pretty calm.

I'm waiting for a publisher to give the green light to my translation of a book of poems by an Israeli woman poet. The publisher really likes the work but doesn't read Hebrew & has been waiting many months for her Hebrew reader to report back to her.

Our 23rd wedding anniversary is Monday but we'll celebrate this weekend. Saturday we have a social obligation, so we may have our anniversary dinner on Sunday.

Mazel Tov all around! twenty-three years... wow. Ben and I have been married for just 3 years and sometimes I can't remember not being married to him.

Thank you. We had a really nice dinner at a new local restaurant Saturday evening, Sunday we ran errands and took care of practical stuff, and this morning we exchanged cards and then it was back to the normal routine.
