I didn't mention how the day before Pesach was crazy mad, largely because I wasn't blogging because it was, uh, crazy mad. We were on the way to Boston, but stopped off at Mar Gavriel's for a Megillat Shir-ha-Shirim-finishing session. The poor boy had been up more or less all night writing like crazy, because the Megillah, if it was going to be useful, needed to be finished before the festival started, since one can't legitimately write on festivals, and he wanted it to be ready to read Saturday. So he was completely exhausted, but had a finished Megillah, and after a bit of erasing and correcting and general fiddling, he had a kosher finished Megillah as well.
Shir ha-Shirim doesn't have to be read from a written scroll; most of us read it from books, but it's certainly rather cool to read it from a scroll, and being a Man With Scroll apparently makes one very popular...when the Mar is blogging again, I shall link to his post detailing his adventures as a Man With Scroll. From what he tells me, it was read many times in many places and was generally a Jolly Good Thing, and demonstrates that with enough dedication, one can go from more or less nothing to a finished scroll in about six weeks. Shkoiyach!
