Sorry to kvetch- but my upcoming map quiz on biblical Israel (of the era of Joshua through the early prophets) and I are not getting along. I am not good at spacial stuff, not at maps in general, and this is just not going terribly well. COuld be worse- but could also be much better.

Otherwise life is ok but tired. I'm jittering about my interview and therefore not being as time-efficient as I could be, and was up too late last night kvetching about some silly shtick in my personal life (having Nothing to do with my obsessive nonsense with minyanim, I promise) and talking to Steve who lives downstairs. And then I lead Shacharit this morning, and seem to have managed all the nusakh correctly, if slightly clunkily. But no one else seems to have objected, so I figure that counts as doing pretty well.

I like your full repetition too. Heicha kedushas in shacharit drive me potty (actually that's why I usually daven downstairs when I make it in for morning minyan).

And I have shirts like that! Isn't it weird to have to pick out your clothes for the day based on your projected ritual activities?

They do feel weirder for Shacharit- because neither the heche kedusha nor the regular amidah feels Complete. On the other hand, I have to admit that occasionally they are very practical. (Starting minyan 5 minutes earlier would probably solve the problem, but that would make people cranky.)

I guess it is, but I suppose it's no different from packing a shawl for the ritual part of a wedding you're attending, if one is the ok-with-uncovered-shoulders type on one's own. It just happens a lot more often.
