- My girlfriend, Kat, is of course coming with me to Hanukah festivities with mom's side of the family. Now at our last big Jewish gathering, Passover, neither my sister nor I brought a date. This is aparently the first time this had happened since I was 17 and everyone commented that we needed to do something about it next time. :-P So I wrote an email to everyone the other day mentioning that Kat was coming and mentioning their disapointment that my sister and I had shown up without dates last time. |
