Google is awesome. Google is also a little scary.

I need not elaborate on Google’s awesomeness. The scariness: crawling my blog within five minutes of my posting last night’s entry. MY site!? I knew it had been crawled before, when I first got the domain and started blogging, but I had no idea the bots were persistent and wide-ranging enough to grab my random rants so quickly.

I discovered this while trying to find a page with the lyrics (original and/or translation) of Naomi Shemer’s incredible “Oh Captain My Captain – Ho Rav Chovel” immediately after posting. I couldn’t, but the search query “shemer oh captain my captain” returned my entry from last night as the fifth result out of 313.

In personal news, I stayed home with Hadarya today, as she spiked a high (104°F) fever last night. We took her to the ER, where she was diagnosed with roseola, a condition that sounds far cuter than it is. Then again, it’s essentially a benign condition that essentially goes away on its own as long as we control the fever, so there’s that. Looks like Grandma and Auntie Kimber will take babysitting duties tomorrow so Jenn and I can both go to work. Jenn has a minimum day at work (every Tuesday), so she’ll be home around noon, and we’ll see how things progress from there.

This weekend is the Breast Cancer 3Day, where I’ll be rejoining my veteran partner Lloyd on the Gear & Tent Crew (Truck G – The G Spot!). I can’t wait to get up in time to be at the fairgrounds on Friday morning at FOUR AM! Yay. Seriously, it’s a terrific event, and I’m excited.

I wrote that letter to the community shaliach that I mentioned yesterday. I’ll post a follow-up when warranted. Now we have to try and get some rest, since we may have another long night in front of us. This is the part of parenting nobody tells you about or talks about much, but I would suffer much more to prevent harm to my child.
