 Other than that, in work news: well, no news, but I had a particularly productive week, so I'm feeling good about that.
 shabbat shalom!

 This week we also took a look at another place for sale here, and we're going to take another look at it today. Given the uncertainty of the status of the Wild West Bank, I'm hesitant to invest too much, but we ''must'' get out of this house, and so we continue to look for something better. ''Update:'' we just made an offer, so in a bit we should hear back from the owners whether or not they are interested in our offer.  The place has fruit trees and a nice, established garden; private entrance and a stunning view of Jerusalem.  It also has large bedrooms (but a small dining room).  However, it's a pretty old house so it needs to be "fixed up" a bit.
 shabbat shalom!

-My father-in-law, Victor, is coming today to spend a month here in the Holy Land.  There's quite a bit more for him to see and do here, as opposed to Bellevue where we used to live, so I hope he will have a more enjoyable visit than he is used to.  In any case, we've got the space for him and we got his favorite foods to snack on.

 Sarah found lice in her hair, which caused a great deal of turmoil and gnashing of teeth.  Fortunately, lice are easy to get rid of.  Fortunately, I say, because they are a recurring affliction amongst school-age kids.  Why didn't Hashem leave the lice in Egypt, I wonder?  At the very least, couldn't He just move them all to our partners for peace?  They probably wouldn't notice them...

 ''It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood… won't you be my neighbor?''.  That's what {{wiki2|Fred Rogers|Mr. Rogers}} sang every day with his calm, reassuring voice.  Poor Mr. Rogers would have a fit if he had to deal with ''my'' neighbors!  Last motsaei shabbat (Sat. night) we got a call from our landlords, saying they were in Jerusalem and would be coming over to meet us and the downstairs neighbors (hereafter: DN), "to clear up some things".  Of course, we were not expecting them and had plans of our own, but they're the landlords and we ''do'' have problems which need to be addressed.  So we waited and eventually they showed up.  When we informed them we still had not received payment from the DN (amounting to about $250) for the various bills we paid, they were astonished.  So they called them to come up and discuss the issue.

 This week we saw yet another ludicrous attempt at "peace", in [http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3476995,00.html Annapolis].  As an extra bonus, our partners for peace declared they would blow up something.  So security was on super-high alert in Jerusalem, to the extent that the main roads were completely shut down as police conducted car-by-car searches.  It was most impressive; I hope we don't see many more of these dividends of peace...
