On the brink of the 25th of Kislev, celebrating the triumph of light over darkness, of purity over adulteration, of spirituality over materiality…
Happy Hanukkah!
(Or Chappy Chanukah … whichever you prefer … Annie’s joke with Ch pronounced properly, of course - something I can never quite do to her satisfaction )
Annie will be putting the menorah (*) in the window this evening and lighting the shamash and the first candle.
* Electric, curtains you know.

Happy Hanukkah to you too
“What do you think science is? There is nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�
