the only feedback i get from this site is from people who miss the old site – homey, unpredictable, intimate. but i promise to try harder with this blog to get back the old style. i need guidance.

i started feeling sick yesterday. my stomach felt like i was in my last month. by night i was in agony and took all kinds of medications to ease my way through to the morning, when it got better by itself, but still sensitive. My doctor thinks it’s a virus. if this doesn’t improve i won’t be able to go on the israel trail tomorrow. not without a diaper – no, a few diapers.

this is our fourth year of the israel trail. we’ve missed a lot – not just because of Ezi’s torn achilles heel and my toe accident, but also because of the corona shutdown. we’re just trying again now – with masks and social distance – starting from a bit north of Zichron Yaakov and down to the coast to sdot yam – eight kilometers in a heat wave. i really hope i can make it.
