My sister called me at work this morning.  It's pretty unusual since we talked yesterday..and she doesnt usually call me at work unless its important.  So I answer the phone and she immediately states, "I do not want you to go to Israel." I was like uh what?  And she repeats herself.  I do not want you go to go to Israel.  She said it with more determination.  I became curious and asked why and she responded saying if I saw the news.  I did not - I have been working on payroll.  She then told me that Rob (my bro in law) saw on CNN that there was a suicide bombing (now its a shooting according to the Jerusalem Post) where they are saying 14 people have died (Jpost says it's .  I told her I would check out the news...and she kept repeating I do not want you go to go to Israel and die.  She said if I was a smaller guy she would feel better because I could blend in.  Being a big guy..she feels I am a bigger target so to speak LOL.  I told her, I would consider it but I am not changing my tickets at this point.  She then asked me if my tickets were refundable.  I think they are but there is a 200.00 penalty. 

I just emailed Chris to get his opinion since we are going there at the same time..and his response is just classic:  "Fuck it we are going!"   And at this point I completely agree!  

What a day for serious conversations!
