On the eighth evening of Chanukah I got a bonus return of the gang (Avdi, D, and V) for candle lighting (drinks, dreidel, snacks, etc.)!  Two nights in a row–I really scored!  As for Avdi, he spun a lucky winning streak of several gimels in a row (with a possibly loaded dreidel).  A record!  Good thing no money was involved, just M&Ms and donut holes!  Misu was surveilling from her throne to keep things kosher.  Anyway, I’m glad they feel comfortable here, after their PA ordeal.  Now the end of Chanukah (this eve.) doesn’t seem as sad.
