One Passover seder down. One to go. Kudos to mom for making a great dinner last night. It started with the traditional reading of the "New Hagaddah". It's called "New" even though the books we use were published in 1948. The seder began with this funny exchange...

Dad : "We'll begin on Page 3."
Aunt : "Where's Page 3?"
Brother : "It's after Page 2."

50 pages later and after a hearty singing of Dye-anu, we finally ate. The menu featured gefilte fish, matzah ball soup, turkey, baked potatoes, corn, carrot tzimas, haroset, pickles, veggies, matzah, and all the Manischevitz you could drink. Dessert had ring jells, marshmellow twists, fruit slices, and various sugar-free stuff for the diabetics. Round two is tonight in New Jersey.

Front page of the Daily News proclaims that J-Lo's mom won $2.4 million in Las Vegas. Like she needs it!

Some good news is that Ralph Nader failed to make the ballot in Oregon. He had only 700 supporters turn out last night when there was a 1000 person minimum in order to qualify for the ballot. At the same function four years ago, he had 7000 supporters turn out. Maybe people are finally getting it.
