Why Was This Past Saturday Night Different From All Other Saturday Nights?

It was different because it was my first seder since the 1980's! Or so I can recall. Regardless, it's been a long long time.

Sean was wearing a t-shirt that bore a remarkable likeness to a certain person we all know and love. Balgavy insisted, at first, that he did not look like the image on the shirt.

I didn't know there was actually going to be a service part of the evening. I thought it was going to be all "Let's eat charoset and search for the Afikomen!" Don't get me wrong. There was plenty of charoset and Afikomen. And there really wasn't all that much religious reading. A little bit goes a long long long way for me.



Bitter herbs are stupid.

A perfect seder: Wine, matzoh ball soup, and Similac.

Mooney and Yu said hello to Double Trouble.

Kaci met Otis.

The prize for finding the Afikomen

After a bit of bourbon, Balgavy was willing to pose with Sean.


Although to be honest - to get the full effect, I needed to find a picture of Balgavy with more gruff. This photo from last summer's baseball trip does the trick.

Uncle Bethy and Yu gave Otis even more attention.

Sam couldn't be bothered.
Thanks Sean, Rebecca, and Beth.

Seders are fun!

Bummed I missed this for a seder where no bacon was served at all!

Didn't see this till today! You guys got great photos!

And believe me, I would have loved to skip the god stuff and dig into the food. Uncle Bethy is a zealot!
