I again felt a little tired and didn't get up very early (partly because of going to bed a little late last night). I still went out for a pretty good walk, though, and took some nice pictures, including today's pic of the day, a nice view of the sun rising:

Of course, I stopped at the bakery on my way back from my walk to buy challah.

I taught 3 units of Berlitz lessons today: 9:00-9:45 and 11:30-1:00.

Between my lessons, I got the weekly household chores done.

I had a salad and beans and weenies for lunch today.

In the afternoon, I tried to work on my second programming assignment for my online class. I've run into a problem, though. The code they provided seems to be hung at the 7th cell, and I can't continue until it finishes. I've already posted about it in the class forum.

In the evening, I lit candles, drank some sweet red wine, and ate a little challah to welcome Shabbat.

I walked a total of 4.24 kilometers today.

In honor of the month of Elul, which begins tomorrow evening as Shabbat goes out, I leave you with this verse from Psalm 27 (a psalm traditionally read during Elul):

אחת שאלתי מאת-יי אותה אבקש

שבתי בבית-יי כל-יהי חיי

לחזות בנעם-יי ולבקר בהיכלו

One thing have I asked of the Eternal, this I will seek:

To dwell in the House of the Eternal all the days of my life

To envision the pleasantness of the Eternal and to visit the divine temple.
