Home!
February 4, 2006Good to be back…
Had a nice flight(s)…. drove to Dayton to catch the 13 row plane…. Caught a taxi and made it from Laguardia to Kennedy without a fuss. The best part was checking in..without any baggage.. no line. No fuss. The guy at the counter actually blocked the seat next to me so I could stretch out a bit… I ended up getting 2 empty seats next to me… wow… can’t beat that.
The flight went well as I passed the time catching up on the daf, working, and watching the Jonny cash movie… until the sound gave out near the end…. Bec. you’re mine.. I walk the line..
So, I call the cab guy that was supposed to meet me to take me home…. he’s no where to be found. He’s in Beit Shemesh… 40 minutes later he shows. I actually broke one of my rules..
never yell at someone bigger than you. I couldn’t hold it in… 2 planes… . up all night.. I just ripped into him.. Well, shabbos was nice as the kids and wife were happy to see me. Its been hard on them, especially with the schonfelds having been there for 2 weeks. Turns out that the Schonfeld kids want to make aliya as well. They are intrigued with the notion that you can “tune” out for the year as an oleh in school. ITs not THAT easy… as my kids can attest to.
Tonight after learning Navi with Yoni, (side note: We learned how Saul was chasing David in the strongholds of Ein Gedi.. hence the picture of ein gedi..) ..we went to a comedy / juggling show. Scott the juggler and josh pfaff.. (some dude) had a comedy magic / juggling show which was held in JErusalem in a cafe on King George. The only problem was there was also a comedian that we heard once before… Brutal. So when we got stuck in traffic on route 1 we thought we may have missed it.
No such luck. We caught the comedian. Picture a russian comedian telling jokes in english. NO picture him not being funny… that was this guy… Just brutal. THe worst part was a women telling him afterwards that he has alot of guts to get up there…
I said… Hey, you’re just encouraging him. If you want to help a fellow JEW, be honest with him. Tell him to work overtime at his regular job or go to russian comedy clubs… oy… people are just so mean.
Tommorrow, is get a way day.. .as its back to Columbus… first NEwark then a corporate jet to cOlumbus… should be fun… yeah.
Well, take care and I’ll speak to you guys next week.
