We’re heading south to Virginia, to visit our friends Ben and Esther Rosenbaum. I used to work with Ben before they moved back to the USA. I sent him an e-mail to let him know when we would probably arrive; he wrote back to tell me that the timing was not so good, because it would be Yom Kippur, and they would be involved with family events. His e-mail closed with the words “Sorry about the timing of Yom Kippur”.
Yeah, Ben, you really should have made sure it wouldn’t collide with our visit! 😉
