Prelude

Welcome to Dice With the Universe!

Generally, I am going to put some thoughts from my life here. They will usually have to do with my translation work or with my writing. Your comments are welcome.

Thanks.

The title of the blog, for those interested, is a part of a paraphrase of Albert Einstein's words -- "God doesn't play dice with the universe." The words originally meant Einstein's scepticism about Quantum Physics (that gives a statistical chance of an event occurring), but I use this phrase as a general guideline to life. Things don't happen randomly. If we want to succeed we need to make it happen ourselves.

Welcome again. Enjoy your stay.

Shabat Shalom

On Friday we went to a Kabalat Shabat with a family living around these parts. They are from Israel and live here for ten years. A very nice family. They also had another couple over who live here for a year. We had a lovely evening. It is a strange thing that I had to come all the way to Omaha to have a real Kabalat Shabat. Life is such a strange thing.

Anyway, Eitan and Eden also had a great time. We are going again on Friday after the next one. We did have a small hick-up. I didn't know they were religious, so I bought a box of coockies that weren't kosher. Eitan was rather disappoited when we coupldn't have them, but we did bring them back. Problem solved.

Strangely enough, I might have a translation job out of the evening. Some acquaintance of the other guest looks for somebody to translate a book.
