Many friends of ours have been traveling a great deal, feeling that the pandemic is over and if they don’t do some touring now, they will lose the ability to move at all.   We have been doing with day trips in nature, primarily because of the fragility of Ezi’s antibodies, and with no progress in uncovering the secrets of where the Evusheld can be obtained, we are not making too many plans.  However, since we were sure that by now things would be somewhat better, we joined a group for an archeological tour of the southern Negev.  There are a few days before we will be off, but I am already exhibiting signs of anxiety – I’m not as flexible as I was just two years ago. 

There is just too much to worry about, and it’s not necessarily about traveling. One example: some of those guys fighting for Russia right now are Syrian, and they are learning too much for my taste – not only about warfare, but also about brutality.  Now that alone could make any one nervous.  But when you add to that the significance of the fact that the rest of the world tolerates war crimes, and Ukraine is fighting on its own, that’s another good reason to worry.

So maybe I’ll stay under the covers this week.  It just seems safer.  Anyway I’ve got a cold.
