Daf-Yomi finished Tractate Blessings today. That means I've spent two months and a bit, reading a huge great long page in the mornings on my way into the city and another huge great long page on the way out. My opinion of the tractate has increased hugely; I used to think it was all boring stuff about when you can pray, but it's stuffed full of cool stories and discussions about poo.
We made a celebration at Drisha - Sara and me, who had read all the way through, brought cake and doughnuts, and everyone helped us eat them.
Later in the morning, I got a package in the mail. It was from some web site I'd never heard of, and contained a five-CD set of classical Spanish guitar music, recorded under Deutsche Gramophon. Random, huh? Why me? Why classical Spanish guitar music? There was no leaflet, or explanation of any kind. Haven't tried listening to it yet (not much point at the moment, unless I want to hear it with heavy bass and rap line).
And this evening I had my first real lesson with my bat mitzvah student. She's utterly gorgeous - smart AND works hard! and musical! So that was nice as well.
