This is it: the weekend of B's Bar Mitzvah.  I'll be returning to NY with my son's family for my 'mitzvah month' obligation.  Not so bad: a decent place to stay and grandchildren who sometimes write on the cards they make 'Pa's the best.'  Still, they might get tired of my whining and indolence before the month is up.  I have some anxiety but it should be an 'interesting' experience.....
