Hi again!
Anything I say might sound banal, after this week's events in Mumbai. Ironically, well-meaning people have told me to stay away from India (which as you recall, is where my company has business dealings). Ironic, because not two kilometers away is the occupied enemy territory of El-Azariyah, formerly known as Bethany, formerly beit-hate'ena, "fig place", in Hebrew. Just to complete the ironic circle.
But for true banality we must look to the pen of self-declared experts on the Gaza situation. I've a suggestion for Ms. Goodman: move to Gaza. Maybe you'll be witness first-hand to the plight of the poor Gazans, who have water and electricity courtesy of the "Zionist entity", and whose smuggling tunnels enable them to purchase anything they want. Including Viagra and sheep. I don't suppose I should have mentioned those two in the same sentence.
The week has been extremely busy for me, as I am trying to coordinate my project as well as write a substantial portion of the software. Getting technical information from our client is an ongoing form of torture for me, but progress is (very) slowly being made. Hopefully I'll be able to move on to another project pretty soon.
In addition, it was Thanksgiving in the US -- and being good expats, we did the Thanksgiving thing as we've done for twenty years. It was very nice having my cousins over for a relaxing meal. Hopefully we won't wait so long before our next get-together. Our reporter in Manhattan, Daniela, reported that the "Macy's" parade was "pretty cool".
Today we had a rainstorm. For five minutes, it rained; then it stopped. We really need rain - I hope our prayers for it are answered soon! Especially since we did have a gardener take care of clearing out the overgrowth and getting our garden in order this week. I would blame "global warming", but after the embarrassingly long list of scientific errors in Gore's self-serving "documentary" about it, I think I'll blame insufficiently sincere prayers on my part instead.
Until next week,
Shabbat shalom!
