Hey. Mike.  You have to get that sand out of your sandals.  I love to 
bake bread and agree there is a magical touch to the whole thing, 
but, I am not about to shove my mug in my challah dough.  However, 
the next time I make challah and the kneading time is almost 
finished, I will look down at the dough and laugh.  Thanks for adding 
your poetic prowess to the process.
