I got up early this morning but didn't go out.

I ate a good breakfast and then went up to the bakery to buy challah and wine for Shabbat.

I taught a single 2-unit lesson today: 9:00-11:00.

In the late morning, I went jogging with a friend on the North Beach tayelet, and we also enjoyed a good chat in Spanish.

Today, I received a wonderful invitation for an all-expenses-paid Passover trip to...

Ha! I got you, didn't I? LOL  April Fools!

OK, so here's what I REALLY did today:

I got up early this morning but didn't go out for a walk.

I actually ate breakfast early, too, and walked up to buy challah for Shabbat after breakfast.

I taught only a single 2-unit Berlitz lesson today: 9:00-10:30.

In the late morning, I went for a walk on the tayelet along the North Beach area with a good friend. We also sat and chatted for a while at a nice shady spot before heading back.

Today, I received a lovely invitation to a seder for Pesach. I really appreciate that!

I treated myself to lunch (whole-wheat spaghetti with Palermo sauce) at Il Pentolino today, something I haven't done in a LONG time. It was very nice. Afterwards, I walked back home even though I had little energy.

In the afternoon, I managed to get all the weekly cleaning tasks done, and I also watched more videos for my Machine Learning class.

I welcomed Shabbat as usual, by lighting candles, drinking a bit of wine, and eating a little challah (and giving some to Pascal, as well).

I walked a total of 8.8 kilometers today.

I leave you with this verse from the Book of Ezekiel. See if you can figure out the connection with this week's news (hint: חשמל):

וארא והנה רוח סערה באה מן-הצפון ענן גדול ואש מתלקחת ונגה לו סביב ומתוכה כעין החשמל מתוך האש

And I looked, and here was a storm wind coming from the north, a great cloud, and a fire flaring up, and touching it all around and in the middle of it, like an electric eye in the fire.
