Muddling to a Milestone

After seven-plus decades of muddling through, my wife and I became great-grandparents for the first time today. Our contribution to the event was fathering the son who became a grandfather today, also for the first time. The grand-daughter (and husband) who precipitated this event are 6,000-plus miles away in Israel. Yet, thanks to modern technology, we have already seen pictures of the adorable little girl, their first child, who, according to Orthodox custom, will be given her name in Shul on Monday.

I can, after all, open email. We anxiously await more pictures in the days ahead.
