So I just booked my ticket and I’m…

Leaving my family… on the megabus!!!

No, that didn’t come out right.  Six words is such a hassle.  I’m leaving them HERE and GOING on the megabus!  Double-decker, WiFi and the luxury of a night of relatively undisturbed-by-children international travel.

(okay, the pit stop for Customs at 2 am – 6 am on the way back – is kind of a drag…)

Where am I going?  Why, the…

… of course!

$80 (ticket) + $50 (registration) + $10 (lunch money) = worthwhile investment in my kids’ Jewish education, plus my own personal chizuk.  Right???  Sure hope so…

Previous willy-nilly excitement about the Torah Home Education Conference over here.

    I'm so glad you're going!

    And the cost is well worth it... and a total steal compared with day school tuition!

This box:   I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white.
