Pesach countdown - Day 0. Okay. I learned my Shir haShirim chapter well enough to chant it into the cantor's voicemail (since I won't be back in New York till Friday afternoon and I'm chanting it Saturday morning, and she wanted to hear me do it in case I needed any coaching). I led shacharit this morning and yesterday, so I don't have to practice that anymore (if I led enough I would know it by heart anyway). I have to learn a Torah portion for tomorrow morning. Adina and I kashered her kitchen last night. Some of the guests are coming over to cook with us in a few hours. I've finished my shopping trips, Adina is shopping right now. We have the ingredients for 3 different desserts, two of which require some facility with beating egg whites. Right now there is a false lull in the craziness, but I'm sure it won't last long.

(But Jewish soldiers in Iraq, and their families back home, have to juggle way more to make their seders than I do.)
