I lit my candle.

I forgot to blow it out before I went to bed.

Now I’m in trouble with the wife.

You will take things to an extreme, **jjimm**. I only asked you to light a candle, not burn down your house.

I didn’t see this thread until today, so I apologize for being a day late and a candle short, but I do raise a glass to you, **Kal** , and to your brother and sister Romani.

Kushti bok, and peace be with you,  
CJ

Whilst I missed the candle lighting, I did celebrate by taking my kids sledding on this special day.
