Fall in love and get married, then boom

[sovay]

I am definitely sick. So is spatch. I can only hope we will look appropriately Dickensian as we deal with our health insurance in person this afternoon.

I meant to link a couple of nights ago: Devra First of the Boston Globe tried to find Roy and Kayla Moore's vaunted friend-who-was-a-rabbi and found some really awesome Alabama rabbis instead.

This is like the EC Comics version: Martin Ansin, "Citizen Kane."

I think we're going to cough a lot and leave the house.

[edit] To no avail, since we arrived two hours before close of business only to find that they were handing out no more numbers for the day; they were busy enough processing the people they already had. We will have to try again on Monday. We were advised to sort out our particular issue over the phone or online. I explained that I had tried both methods and met with no success and we had really wanted just to sit down with a person and our documentation and maybe we can, but not today. It was very cold. We resorted to Regina afterward. Rob has gone to work, because even sick he can't skip a Slutcracker night. I am going to fall over, or curl up, or maybe both.

Aww, hope you both feel better soon!

Thank you. I am not sure what hiking around in the cold has done for our chances, but we're trying!

I hope you both feel better soon.

I really enjoyed that article on the awesome Alabama rabbis.

"He talked about empathy and the menorah as a symbol for the spark within each of us. It wasn't what I called to talk about. I didn't mind."

The search for their Jewish attorney has gone a bit weirder.

The plot thickens! (I liked this article, possibly because I rather uproariously imitated the drawn-out way Moore's wife said the word "Jew" on the phone with my mom earlier in the week.)

spatch, telling me the story that night, remarked on the way she said it! I can see I will have to listen to the clip. I try to avoid having these people in my head any more than I have to.

Aha! All roads lead to "Jay Sekulow.. . Chief Counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ)." NPR just did a piece on him as one of Trump's personal lawyers--can't remember if it was for the Russia investigation or the sexual assault charges. I'm sure that this convert to Christianity under the guise of "Messianic Judaism" could have been recommended to Roy Moore. NPR intimated that Sekulow's star is rising in this administration.Maybe if he does a good job of shielding his current client, there might be a Supreme Court nomination for him.

Jay Alan Sekulow, father of Jordan and Logan, doesn't seem to be the one the Forward article writer was thinking of, though: "One Montgomery attorney could be our match. His name — first, middle, and last names included — was certainly very Jewish. The Old Testament names of his children were spelled in ways more typically Jewish than Christian."

I hope you're both starting to feel better today.

Thank you. I . . . hope you're right.

So sorry to hear that--both the sickness part and the horrible insurance bureaucracy part.

I've been thinking of your seasonal eggnog. Maybe that's something that would soothe. Also maybe this music, which I've been sharing around.

Nobody should have to go out sick in freezing weather to be told their health insurance can't see them. That's the heaviest-handed Dickens/Kafka mashup I've experienced in a long time.

That is nice. Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear you're sick! There's been some nasty bugs going around this season. I hope you both feel better soon.

Thank you! I just really resent the idea of spending the actual holidays sick. I have things to do!
