Your analyses and commentary have always been interesting to me. Thanks for sharing both here!
Not a problem. It's cheaper than therapy.
I think it is still Sukkot. Maybe it ends 10/7 or 10/8?
My understanding is that Ecclesiastes is read during Sukkot.
As Solomon says in Ecclesiastes (Kohelet):
"I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind. For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief."
