Well, we’re hours from Shabbat and still no Vice-Presidential nominee from the Obama camp. This of course, disrupts my posting plans for today in which I expected to be all over surfing tips on the Presidential shidduch. Oh well. Maybe if I take enough time writing this post something will happen. Just hoping that whoever is advising Obama on the Jewish vote has told him to get the word out before candle-lighting time.

Shabbat Shalom.
