Hi again!
This week Esther attended a birth, to get some practical experience as a doula before finishing up her licensing. She said it was exciting, but the woman giving birth almost broke Esther's wrist by grabbing her hand in a vise-grip. Maybe they should give courses on self-defense as part of the doula training!
We've got only three and a half months before we get possession of the "new" house, God willing -- so we have to get things lined up. I talked to a couple general contractors this week - and found out that I might be too late to get someone for June! One guy said he would call me back and try to arrange a visit to the house, but he hasn't called so far. Another guy is out of the country until after Purim, but he says he is available in June and will talk to me when he comes back. I did talk to a roofer about getting insulation on the roof and sealing the asphalt; that will be done. And I need to talk to a mover and set a firm date - because even if we haven't done anything to fix up the house, we are moving out of the place we're in!!!
Last week I talked about the terrorist attack on the Mercaz HaRav yeshiva in Jerusalem. This week, the family of the murderer erected a "mourning tent" for him. We bleeding-hearts in Israel allowed them to not only erect a large tent, but to put Hamas and Hizbullah flags all over it. Our neighbors the Jordanians however, refused to let his relatives in Jordan do the same. The heart-breaking irony: their reason is Jordan would not permit any group or individual to harm its national security by holding events that publicly supported violence against civilians! Why is it that Jordan "gets it" and we don't? Not precisely related, but related nonetheless... my current personal hero and person I would vote to be Minister of Defense is Tvrtko Kale. Yes, he's "only" a soccer player, but he has more sechel than anyone I've heard in the government. The best part of the interview I linked to, is the reaction from the left-wing interviewer. Priceless!
Our enemies aren't just here across the way. Not-so-great Britain has banned one of our politicians from entering that country, even though he has no plans to visit. They thing he's a racist or some such; but they have no problem letting in radical Muslim clerics who directly call for genocide against the Jews. Guess where I won't be vacationing?
