Visitor Feedback:

Although I don't want to spoil Daniel's reward ... Six 32 ounce Custard's with fresh Black Berries and Pecans (Daniel' reward for getting TC recordings in first) ... in all actuality, Aaron was first this month with his TC audio recordings (it IS just a technical point, really).

But after spending the day editing Torah Club volume 4 and 5 audio segments, I'd have to say Daniel does deserve a reward for his material, it is really "first rate" from a content perspective. If you haven't checked out the Torah Club audio commentaries, you are truly missing out.

***Boaz: I'll always take the opportunity to give dreats...so Aaron I owe you one.***

BEAGLES with toppings, huh? Personally, I think they're too cute to eat. But hey, as long as they are slaughtered properly, I'll try anything once.

Ooooohhhh, you must have meant BAGELS! :)

***Boaz: embarrassing mistake...there is another one...can you find it?***

Boaz, I'm looking forward to it. But don't forget I'm allergic to pecans.

Perhaps the other mistake is "aunts on a log" -- being originally from New England that isn't even a homonym.

Have a wonderful conference. We'll pray for favor and strength as well as safe travels.

***Boaz: You got it..this is the other mistake that I was referring to...any more?***

Correction on Egg Salad. That was made by my daughter Bekah, not Shayna. Quoting Joel, "it IS just a technical point, really..."

Thanks kids and wives for all of the preparation that you all did! Thanks also for allowing us all to travel like this to help fulfill dreams and mission.

OK, I'll bite: what is "aunts/ants on a log"? Us Michiganders are unfamiliar with that delicacy.

***Boaz: Firstly it is ants, not aunts, that was my typo...a funny one at that. "Ants on a log" is celery sticks, with peanut butter, with raisins on top. It is a snack type food.***

What's a dreat??????? Sounds yummy. I assume they are kosher ;)

***Boaz: A "Dreat" is treat...Isaac style. Isaac is Toby's youngest son and when he asks for a treat he says, "dreat." We have all taken a liking to it and now refer to our treats as dreats as well.***
