"The Lion, the Wilco and the Wrapping Paper"

Where were we on April 4th? This entry will tell you about a assembloge [sic].

While surfing the web one day...and I am NOT a sports fan...Bad opening too contrived.

I really enjoy online games, particularly flash point-and click ones. I was "poking" around online and came across some flash experiments, as they are called by their creator. After testing out the experiments, I was led to his blog. On one of the posts (and he keeps a very detailed account of his day-to-day life, which is never boring), there was a poem. I wrote an email, "I noticed you had a poem by Yehuda Amichai in your blog." Then the disclaimer, " (I never do this kind of thing but I do have that spontaneity spark) Is there anything you want from Israel? We live in Jerusalem. My husband and I will be in the States next month and actually visiting Chicago."
Shout out to J. Botnick for driving us to movie theater and back.

Feeling 100 Shekels Lighter

I have made many notes on things I have wanted to write about but they remain...just notes. Today I bring you a tale of woe. I was swindled by a cab driver.
Maybe the details matter, maybe they don't. Maybe you have experienced deception, self -doubt, and the aftermath of trusting the wrong person. Maybe you haven't. Just remember this: Wear sunscreen.
