My preparation includes listening to this beautiful composition ‘Canto Ostinato’ (“Obstinate Song”) written by the Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt, here played by Piano Ensemble.

Good news on Thursday (from the USA Today): “The president of the Boy Scouts of America on Thursday called for an end to the group’s ban on gay troop leaders.” … “I (Robert Gates) must speak as plainly and bluntly to you as I spoke to presidents when I was director of the CIA and secretary of Defense,” he said. “We must deal with the world as it is, not as we might wish it to be. The status quo in our movement’s membership standards cannot be sustained.”

I’m sitting in the office – like this little bird on the fence- … yeah … I’m ready for the weekend 😉

Fabio,
The Conto Ostinato is gorgeous. I’ve got Beethoven’s 5th Piano Concerto set aside for tonight to accompany the lighting of my candles.
Shabbat Shalom. See you Saturday.
Your friend, Barbara
What a way to light the candles, Barbara! Shabbat Shalon and see you tomorrow evening for Shavuot! Take care, 🙂 Fabio
