Things of all sorts

It has been awhile, so I am back for random thoughts.

The rain has returned but I don't think it is here to stay. By late April it should be completely gone and we should be wishing for it when it is 105 degrees out with dry heat! I'll welcome the heat though right now! :-)

For some reason, I have that old 1960's song Leader of the Pack in my head. Does anyone remember it? It was a one hit wonder I think, I used to love that song! Haven't heard it in AGES, then all of the sudden, it just popped in my head. How does a song just pop in your head? It's a weird thing. Sometimes I just wake up in the morning and a song that must of been part of a dream is stuck in my head all day. Maybe I just listen to music too much.
Speaking of things that get stuck in your head, have you ever had a scene from a movie or show in your head that has had a big impact on you?
When I was little, I remember seeing a Sesame Street episode where a kid is running the faucet as they are brushing their teeth and a little fish saying that it is draining his home! Weird, but it has stuck in my mind since then! Every time I brush my teeth, that little picture is in my head! Thank you Sesame Street for making a big impact in my life!

Passover is great! One of the best parts about being Jewish, sitting listening to my dads stories of Jewish history and the history of Passover then eating really good food and tons of laughs! Its not one of those where you sit around and just listen to one person talk, its very interactive and I think that is why people who come to our house like it so much! It's either that or they love the food! Like every year past, I lose at finding the afikoman but win at eating lots of gefilte fish and matzo ball soup! I think over the years I have become more proud to be Jewish. I have always been proud of my religion, but you really grow to appreciate it in your later years. We are not strict Jews(we had an Easter egg hunt on Sunday! And used to have big Christmases with family, now we just have some presents and listen to Christmas songs.) but we stick to it every year.
As I grew older, I also met many other people who were Jewish as well and it is always fascinating what each person does to practice their religion. I guess the world is an amazing place, so many different people, different religions, different beliefs and yet we are still learning more and more each day! :-)

Spring break time! Doesn't look spring like outside, but hope that changes!
