Before breakfast, I walked down to recycle the cardboard, buy soup and candy at the local Shufersal, and buy challah at the bakery for Shabbat.
I was scheduled to teach only one 1-unit class today (9:00-9:45), but no one showed up for it.
We went to Il Pentolino for lunch today. David had penne with funghi (mushroom cream) sauce, and I had my usual whole-wheat spaghetti with Palermo sauce.
As the light of the sun was about to disappear for the day, we lit candles, sipped wine, and ate a bit of challah to welcome Shabbat.
לא תבשי ולא תכלמי; מה תשתוחחי, ומה תהמי
בך יחסו עניי עמי, ונבנתה עיר על-תלה
Lo tevoshi v'lo tikalmi; ma tishtokhakhi, uma tehemi
bakh y'khesu ani'e ami, v'nivneta ir al tila
Be not embarrassed nor ashamed; what sorrow, what groaning?
In you the poor among My people will find respite, and the city will be built on its ancient ruins
[stanza 6 of L'cha Dodi]
