Noting the deafening silence on the etni list, apart from Esther Revivo, who seems to have endless energy, I presume that everybody is wiped out after yesterday's marathon.
So I thought I would post a true story which might bring a smile to your lips.
In days gone by, in England, a friend of my mother's had a gardener who took his annual holiday. He was well advanced in years, and shortly after returning,he died. His friends asked my mother's friend if she would kindly allow them to lay out the body in the huge entrance hall of her house, so that his many friends could come and pay their last respects. She consented, and a steady stream of his friends came to say farewell. Towards the end of the day, two old codgers arrived and stood staring down at the body. 

"Cor!  He ain't half brown, eh!
"Yeah," said the other, absolutely serious. "Looks like 'is 'oliday done 'im good!
And on that note, I wish you all a wonderful, restful Shavuot break, and I hope your holiday does you good without the outcome of the above anecdote.
