I got up extra early this morning and got in a good walk and work-out. My right leg (really from the knee, I think, but going downward from there) began to hurt during my walk. I had to slow down in order to quiet the pain, but I did manage to do so.
Before breakfast, I also managed to take the cardboard boxes to their recycle bin and to buy challah and candy.
I taught 4 units of Berlitz lessons today: 9:00-10:30 and 11:30-1:00. Both were individual level-2 students from France (although the first one currently lives in the Netherlands).
We ate lunch at Il Pentolino again today. On the way back, shortly before we got home, the car overheated. We were able to make it home, but I'll have to take it in to the garage first thing Sunday morning, and we won't be able to drive it tomorrow at all.
In the last few days, I've been reading a short book in Esperanto online. It's not only IN Esperanto, it's also ABOUT Esperanto, mostly outlining and arguing the author's position that it's better to create new words from the existing roots in the language than to bring in words from other languages. His writing is very clear and interesting, and I find that, even though I've read very little Esperanto in several decades, I'm able to follow him very well. There are only a few words that he uses that are unfamiliar to me or that I have forgotten. Here's the link for anyone who can read Esperanto.
This evening we welcomed the Shabbat bride with candle-lighting, a little sweet wine, and whole-grain challah. Shabbat Shalom to everyone! שבת שלום לכולם!
