That is me!   WHOOOOO...I have lots of docs to complete...but at least the process has begun.  Excited does not really describe what I feel. Elated and euphoric...and a bit nervous..that is it.   Fun times....fun times indeed!

End of the world is back on

Stock market is tanking again.  It is now under 10k for the first time since 2004.  Gloom and doom is back in style.  It does seem to me that we are in a recession, we just have to wait for the government reports to confirm the rule (2 quarters of negative growth).  But with the loss of about 160k jobs we are sure to be in the negative growth category.  So, now that it's the end of the world...what to do?  What are you going to do?

Lital's clip of Paul McCartney

Is on her facebook.  It is about a minute long and starts off with Paul singing a Day in a Life...and then ends with the WORST John Lennon song ever....Give Peace a chance.  Lital was pretty damn close to the stage!!! That must have been some kick ass concert!   Just go to her facebook and you can view it!

It has been a week

And here are some random thoughts.  All things being considered, YES I would rather still be in Israel.  Damn, I miss being there!  Being there was better than perfect (ok except for the driving) LOL  I look at my pictures and remember where I took most of them and what I was doing in some of them.  And, wish I as back there again!  Right now it is 74 degrees in Tel Aviv...and it is fucking far better than the 94 degrees here in Arizona.  In the end, none of that matters though.  In the end it is where you feel home.  Arizona, has never felt like home.  Ever.  California did when my mom was alive.  Not anymore.  Only Israel has given me that feeling and it is not one I want to have disappear.  It is one that in my heart I want to feel again.

It's the end of the world....as we know it...and I feel....

Well...umm....the bailout took a flush faster than the toilet!   The dow dropped over 600 points...Everyone is saying that this is the beginning of the Great Depression ver. 2.0.....and well I feel....well lets have REM say it!



Tomorrow will probably be another crappy day for the stock market...but umm....I think we will weather this storm.  Remember this same thing happened in Reagan's last years...in office....

Adina Plastelina

When we were at the Old city of Jaffa we went to this jewelery and glass place called Adina Plastelina.  I bought a Mezzuzah there and the guys got some stuff there.  I was checking out some of the stuff that I got and in the mezzuzah had a note from the company and I checked it out...and they have a website!

Check it out.

I would like to get another mezuzzah from them.    They have gorgeous products! 

This was the guy who told us that oh yeah some of the buildings here are not that old, only 300 years old! LOL

Fed Ex is here!!!

FINALLY...

I had one suitcase arrive 2 days ago...but my main shipment of a suitcase and 2 boxes arrived yesterday.  Only a few issues.  One Fed Ex broke some zippers on my suitcases and my chocolate/date spread broke in the box AND a plate I got from the church of the loaves and fishes broke.  Altogether fairly painless.  I am just glad that the important items - the Persian Rug and the gifts from Lital made it safe and sound!

We must be in a depression

Why you ask?  Simple, Hugh Hefner is now laying off playboy bunnies!! IS THERE NO JUSTICE IN THE WORLD?  Poor playboy bunnies now unemployed in this era of free porn now the icon (and obselete business) known as Playboy is suffering to the point that those playboy bunnies are getting laid off.  The Deuce you say!  There simply is no justice anymore in the world.  Black is white!  Dogs and cats are best friends!

Paul Newman RIP

Last night the legendary and awesome actor Paul Newman passed away at 83 years of age!  He played in such legendary films as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, The Color of Money, Exodus, The Hustler, and recently the animated movie Cars.

He was a great actor and there will never be another Paul Newman.  His style seemed to me reminiscent of Marlon Brando, another Hollywood icon.  Hard to believe there will never be another Paul Newman movie.

RIP Mr. Newman, may you bring heaven as much joy and drama as you did here on Earth.

UGH my bank failed

Today I just found out that Washington Mutual - my bank for almost a decade - just failed.   At least it got sold so I have no fear of losing my money- Thank G-d!  But damn....this economic instability fucking SUCKS!  I banked with Wamu for about 10 years, since I was in Pasadena, CA!  Now it is JP Morgan Chase.  I hope they can stay around longer!
