after a few intense days, the intensity coming from almost all directions, I was ready for a day in bed. Sunday – a misunderstanding about payment at the university of a friend I invited, Monday a day at the hospital to discover at last that all my crazy symptoms are ultimately “nothing to write home about”, Tuesday 12 kilometers in burning heat climbing Napolean Hill, Tel Casira, escaping to save our lives, wednesday exercise, shopping an meetings, and finally – thursday:  discovering a way to return this site to it’s usual mess.  Now for today – more exercise, more internet maintenance, and a family party in the evening.   

thank goodness for Shabbat.  we’ll go exploring in the shuk in the evening after a day of rest.
