My humblest apologies for my tardiness in getting this together. I could explain, but it'd only be an excuse which has a maximium effective range of just about zero, so I won't.
Today marks the beginning of a sacred and special season for those of the Jewish faith, and I have many friends both in and out of the Blogosphere who will for the next eight (it is eight, right?) days be observing Hannukah. They could tell you the story far better than I ever could, and I hope you'll visit them and learn how one night's worth of lamp oil for no explicable reason kept the lamp lit for eight days and nights. (That's the way-oversimplified Goyim version of the story.)
And to those of you who are celebrating, the only Hebrew word I know that might be applied here would be
Shalom. Which if I'm not mistaken, translates literally as "Peace" (feel free to correct me, I promise not to be offended). I hope that's what it means anyway, because that's my wish for you this -- and all -- seasons. Happy Hannukah, my friends.
