Haveil Havalim #179

Hey oh. I just got back from a frielich wedding, and it's pretty late. But I didn't get many submissions this week. I was thinking it might be because of my infamous last stint as HH chair, but it turns out to be because blogcarnival was down a lot of the week.

Thank you so much for making the effort to host this week. I am SO BUMMED that I left Israel just two days (I think?) before the conference! ARGH. Next time, I'll have to see what I can do about that.

Meanwhile, hope everyone had a great, safe time and I can't wait to read about it.

PS Esser Agoroth is a "he."

I finally learn to use on-line forms and then it goes down on me.

Jack, next time this happens, inform people what to do?

Thanks for hosting.

Maybe you could write:

At least put up Baila's great post with pics: how Baila met the blogger stars

Thank you again.
