127.01/ Week one-hundred and twenty-seven, December 17-23, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 126 below.

127.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight pur on hold for a week because we're going to a lecture by Dean Rachel Friedman of Drisha.

127.03/ Watching the #WorldCup - because the championship game in any sport is worth watching - and choosing to support ARG because I have cousins there. Whenever I see a header I think of this C&H:

127.04/ My this is a fine soccer match. #WorldCup

The games are usually not this exciting and that was an incredible 3rd goal by ARG. But this isn't sudden death (like hockey) so on we go for untold minutes.

127.05/ And Mbappe ties it up. Absolutely the best soccer game I've seen in memory #WorldCup

127.06/ 18 minutes until Fox has to choose to bounce the #WorldCup to show the Cowboys vs. Jacksonville. Football or Fútbol?

127.07/ This is art

127.08/ One good thing about a fundraising brunch in the week of #Chanukah: Hot and cold running donuts!

127.09/ #HappyHanukkah to all!

127.10/ Time to see the disgraced former Emperor's clothes.

127.11/ OK, let's go check the ol' weather app to see what it will be like tomorrow. OK, high of 52 and a low of... NINE?! What the heck? And what kind of symbol is that with a sun behind a lightning thundercloud? Thor's Revenge?

127.12/ #Chanukah Night 5

#HappyHanukkah all

127.13/ Here's an idea - for the #NYR - hitting the post should be like a frozen yogurt punch card: hit 8 posts and get a free goal. Whattaya think?

127.14/ #NachasAlert: My kids' school won 1st & 5th place (out of 40 or something) in our local robotics competition! And my family has been big supporters of the whole STEM program, so it's extra sweet.

127.15/ Just saw a kindergartner going to school wearing a bee costume and I really, really hope it's because she's dressed as a Macca-Bee.

127.15b/ Seeing "Macca-Bee" in the above post and now wanting, nay - demanding, Guillermo Del Toro make a movie about the Mecha-Bee rebellion against Antiochus IV (who'll be a Kaiju? Why not?)

127.16/ #NachasAlert: My son has a big piece in this week's #Miketz Torah Journal for his HS:

127.17/ Just found on archive.org @internetarchive:
Philip Birnbaum's HaSiddur HaShalem The Daily Prayer Book (1949) in image scan (no OCR)

127.18/ I've been saving a treat since my trip to Israel for this coming Shabbas-Chanukah-Rosh Chodesh: kosher (real) Cheetos & Doritos. I say "real" because there are many imitators around, but these taste so much better I need to assume authenticity. #HappyHanukkah !

127.20/ Have a great special Shabbos-Chanukah-Rosh Chodesh (we'll spend half the day in shul or benching).
Stay safe everyone and #ShabbatShalom
