Tales of the Golem; or, the Modern Epimetheus

Where everybody knows your name

We returned to the AAJA Trivia Bowl, but we lost. Crap.

Bidding at the accompanying charity auction seemed subdued. Typical auction item in previous year: two round-trip tickets on Cathay Pacific. Typical auction item this year: two round-trip tickets on Southwest Airlines. A lunch date with Sharon Tay was auctioned off as in previous years, but Sharon Tay was not there to sell it in person, leaving the auctioneers to implore, "Come on, Sharon Tay! Have you seen a picture?!"

Jonathan was in town on Sunday. We went to Jerome's parents' place for a sukkah party.

Celebrity sighting in the sukkah: Paul Willson. (Okay, I did not know Paul Willson's name without being told, but I knew he was on Cheers and et cetera.)

Dropped off Jonathan at Long Beach Airport, came home and slept for twelve hours straight. Was still tired when I got up.
