Treppenwitz M.B.E. (Messenger Boy Extraordinaire)
Have you ever had someone ask you to do them a small favor... and in the process you come away with such a nice warm feeling inside for having done this tiny thing that it feels more like they did you a favor?
An 'only in the blogosphere' story worth sharing... go read it here.

That's great Dave. Your Shabbat hosting is something that I both admire and am in awe of. It's a very generous thing to do, but the rewards are a win-win for all involved!

David & Zahava,
Your warmth and ability to make everyone feel so comfortable in your home is a wonderful trait. It is truly amazing how many people have been beneficiaries of your kindness through your blog.

Awww...and now I have a nice warm feeling knowing that being my "shaliach" made you feel good.
Again a MILLION thank yous. If only there were more people like you and Zahava in the world - what a more wonderful world we would all live in.

Hi Trep,
Great story... really loved it and the cool snapshot! Good on you!
I recently attended my first baseball game. You can read about it on my blog.
I felt like anthropologist observing some strange tribe's rituals or something... I felt like a MEGA-nerd, but it was fun.
Wishing you and yours well!
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Think about it, David -- How many people there are around the world who want to host YOU and yours over a Shabbos...
I'm on that list, for sure. :)

I think there was a misunderstanding..... we didn't have the pleasure of being able to host PHD for Shabbat (though we would happily do so)....

val... In this case all I did was deliver some shabbat flowers.
SaraK... In fairness, we gain immeasurably from each of our guests.
orieyenta... If there were more people like me in the world nothing would work. :-)
Maksim-Smelchak... First ballgame?! Wow!
weese... I seem to remember it was you and your lovely wife that took me in out of a blinding snowstorm and poured Limoncello down my throat until I came to my senses. :-)
Pearl... OK, let's make a list. I could use a few months off from making shabbat at home. :-)
Zahava... Thanks, I should have been more clear.
