So what's everyone's plans for not celebrating kratsmeere?

I'll be at the Jefferson in downtown Richmond.

Hi Pruz!

I'm doing some quilting, the first time in a year or so. Been working hard on this dissertation; it'll be great to have a day off. Tonight we got out the dreidels and played a bit.

We're dropping son #2 at the airport so he can visit friends back in NC over the school break, and then the wife and I are going into Manhattan. We'll see some friends, walk the city a bit, do some of the "tourist" things we haven't been able to do since moving here.

I plan to daven in a minyan 3 times, spend an hour learning Moed Katan with the Rav (Daf Hayomi shiur). Help my wife prepare for Shabbos. Thank G-d I'm a Yid.

And last night on nittal nacht, we did learn Gamara. By the Litvish, we still learn on nittal nacht.

I went out to dinner with a friend and family I haven't seen in 40 years.

The mesechta is different this year, but otherwise the same. To all my fellow Yidden, please be careful tomorrow. Not an auspicious time for us.

Well, I understand that the traditional "twas the night before . . ." activity is to tear all the toilet paper that one might need for the next 52 (or whatever) sabbaths, plus holidays. Seems appropriate, but probably most folks use Kleenex these days. Daytime, I'll be driving the rabbi's kids to school in the closest major city, 75 miles away.
