KFP or not?

My wife spotted this in one of her Pesach cookery books:

Seder preparations await my attention. Chag Sameach!

Good for wife...

My wife and I went to stay in Yerushalayim for Shabbos Hagodol. On Shabbos afternoon we walked down to the Kosel for mincha, and on the way we walked through the arab shuk.

We're walking down the road past all the stores and we approach what was probably a leather-goods store. I don't really remember. There's a guy standing at the entrance holding a belt folded in two. As we come within range he slaps in a couple of times in his palm and calls out to me (in English, he must have heard us), "Good for wife!". I chuckle and smile at my wife, and as we're passing he calls out, "Good for husband!" which just makes us crack up. I reckon he was smiling too.

From the way we looked it would have been obvious to him that we weren't going to buy anything so it wasn't an attempt to get us into the store. He was just taking the opportunity to amuse us and himself. May all our interactions with our cousins over there be of that nature.

Chag Kasher veSameach

It's been a while since I posted.

I just popped in here to add a couple of little posts before Pesach.

I'd like to wish my handful of readers a chag kasher vesameach.
