It's a good thing I don't do minor fast days because, well. Today is one and I didn't realize it before, well, I saw a post on weirdjews2. Which was after I'd had some coffee.

So, it would be an oops, except that I don't do minor fast days. (And it would be a matter of skipping lunch, given that it's over at 5:15 today.)

I totally forgot, which isn't surprising, but so did my husband, and apparently several people over there at weirdjews2. I was able to tell my husband in time. For myself, it's sort of the least of my worries either way, though I did used to keep them. (sorry to admit that) But I was feeling a little sick at the time I saw the post so I did skip this fast.

(I meant sorry to admit here I've gone down in observance... not anything else)

My husband forgot,too. And he'd had his coffee, so. Ooops. :)

I solve this problem by not observing most fast days other than Yom Kippur.

Well, sometimes I observe them, in the sense of "oh, look, a fast day!"

Mind, I DO go to shul early the day before Pesach

I do Tisha B'Av.

Jonathan is also a b'chor and goes to shul *real* early erev Pesach.

For a number of years, he did the siyyum, too.

It's actually been a tradition that I like; I go with my father and one of our oldest family friends (he's known my father forever and signed the ketubah when E and I got married), and then we all go out to breakfast afterwards.

And now, of course, P gets to go with me.
