Our Seder host gets the last laugh

You may remember that I was complaining about our Seder-night accommodations being on such a high floor that we'd have to take the elevator.  What I hadn't realized was that our host's new apartment is also above the tenth floor, so even if our temporary housing had been lower down, we would still have had to "commute vertically."  It's probably just as well that I've decided that I'm just not cut out to become even a truly-observant Conservative Jew, much less an Orthodox one, because I'm really not kidding when I say that we might have to make all new friends if we became observant, and I'm not willing to give up my current ones.
