Bits an bobs is my many short unrelated things make a post category. Feel free to comment any of the points without commenting on all of them.

*R was in SoCal visiting with friends for most of last week. He left Tuesday and got back Friday before dinner. We where able to have N stay late at school most days so it wasn't too much extra childcare, but I was surprised by how stressful I found it. I really missed him!

*Wednesday was one of those very hot days we often get this time of year in the Bay Area. So after I picked N up from pre-school we headed to the Oakland Museum. Its really lovely local museum where I have membership, and they have AC, which is a bit rare in these parts. We spent time in all three permanent exhibits -- History, Science and Art. So that was pretty fun and good way to beat the heat.

*Rosh Hashanah starts tonight at sundown. Happy New Year everyone! I have not gotten organized to go to services tonight, but I have stared making this recipe for apple and honey challah. I guess that's pretty typical of my Judaism: good at food, and bad at ritual, but I do wish I was bit better at the community stuff.

*This morning the kid wanted to have her stuffed animals fight each other but I suggested we have protest march instead. I made little protest signs! I thought they where pretty cute, have a picture (via twitter). This felt like a pretty good parenting win!

Happy new year! That apple and honey challah looks delicious! I've always wanted to make bread, and challah in particular, but the thought of figuring out how to plait the different strands of dough stresses me out so much.

Museums are great for many reasons, and I'm glad to learn another one.
