I'm learning towards smicha from a rabbi whom I accidentally entered into my cellphone as "hikh." This is a response of R Hikh to a comment I made regarding electricity and Shabbat candles: "[name here], what is the matter with you? I mean, I consider myself a rationalist but I'm not a... not a Vulcan!" I'm obviously very proud of such a description.
Dream described in an email to my sister:
Dear [sister],
I dreamed that you worked for "Herpes Canada." Your department figured out a way to cure Herpes by sending people emails with a double "s" in the sender's address. You wrote your department a scathing email yourself saying that it was stupid and beneath a government organisation to send from a "bulky" email address. Somehow you made that sound very funny and I woke up laughing. I tried to explain the joke to [spouse], who didn't even realise it was supposed to be funny. I said "I think the truly funny part was [sister] working for Herpes Canada anyway" and then had a laughing fit so intense and so prolongued that I began to fear a serious medical source to my laughter.
Love,
