A Hechsher for Water:

The O-U has just put their kashruthy seal of approval on distilled water. Not plain water, not water that has additives that actually require kosher supervision; water that is distilled. Well, the product does contain electrolytes (these should be inorganic minerals), so perhaps formal supervision is required:

We get older and smarter:

The cloth that encircles our 8x12 sukkah is gaily-painted canvas, heavy to lift. When Sukkot is over, I have to return it to its resting place in our attic, two flights up. Folding the cloth neatly is a time-consuming exercise, partly because its length is longer than our largest room.

Last year I got smart. I realized that I did not need to roll the cloth up very neatly, I only needed to roll it up so that I could carry it, and it would fit nicely in our storage attic. I’ve saved 90% of the roll-up time!
