Passover cleaning has commenced in the Fein household! After I mentioned this to Barbara, she said: "But it doesn't start until next week." Silly.

After a Sunday afternoon of Passover/spring-cleaning activities, I showered, changed, and looked in the backyard. A few minutes later, I was tramping out there with a ladder, a utility knife, and a screwdriver (to open and close the utility knife). And about fifteen minutes later, I had demolished the sukkah frame which had been standing tall in our backyard since October. ^[1] And I have a bump on my forehead from a falling utility knife handle. It makes my head look bigger.

Later, we did some errands downtown, which included finding out that there's French wine kosher for Passover (!). ^[2]

We ended up going to Marita's^[3] for dinner. Mmm. Mushrooms.

^[1] Craig pointed out that, at this point, it's only another seven months until I have to put it up again.

^[2] A quick google turns up a page asking that Jewish groups boycott French products but not French wine that is explicitly kosher. It's a complex issue, well worth reading about.

^[3] It wasn't nearly as crowded as this link makes it out to be.
