Hi there!

My kids are not in school any more, but for those who have kids in school or who are themselves kids in school: good luck!

On a side note: yesterday <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8BeC922reo">I was interviewed</a> on the weekly Ladino meeting called <a href="https://esefarad.com/tag/enkontros-de-alhad/">Enkontros de Alhad</a>. It is in Ladino (Judeo Espanyol) and has nothing to do with Perl, but who knows, maybe you will find some parallel.

Enjoy the week!
