so it’s Hanukah – and the kids are on vacation – and our calendar is doctor-driven – so today is our only day to see Omer and Tamar.  Our plan was to go to Sha-ar Hagai, which has become an interactive museum since it is stopped becoming a way-place for the horses to rest on the way to Jerusalem.  But we forgot that the kids need testing the morning of the visit, and testing won’t fit into our schedule, so we’re going out for pancakes at the port instead.  The complications of random scheduling and changing rules and inclement weather make flexibility absolutely necessary.  But it doesn’t necessarily make it impossible.
