If you are interested please let me know – if you are interested but have concerns please let me know. (I am going to screen responses) This would not be just a social hang around night – this will involve a seder service, the [...]
so I’ve been sick – no like sick Woah! Like sick enough that the bosses actually sent me home on a monday after I was sick enough to stay home on the friday before.
