had a pleasant chat with our good man behind the counter who expressed concern for the whereabouts of my "partner in crime." miranda's officially home for passover, and mazel tov to her and hers. and as a bit of a vicarious partaking, i enjoyed (!!) a matzoh in celebration. matzoh, for those not of the know, is among the more tasteless foods this world has to offer, but with a little banana or a smidge of mustard, most anything can be remedied.
