Battling through cold and sickness and heavy work load, but with a positive mental attitude!

Heat Wave by Eric Klinenberg is a book about the failure of a society to support its citizens. With over 733 deaths, many of whom were elderly citizens, communities did not respond. And reading about a mass burial of 68 of them, all without next of kin or family to identify them, is the final thought I have before crawling into bed tonight... to pray for some sleep so that I can wake up early and write a short report about the book. Eight hours of reading... just three hours left to write three pages and another three hours of facilitating class. The end of this week is near. I yearn for Shabbat and the rest that it demands.
