So I signed up for this challenge, and it starts today. Ummm… I don’t think I have time for it. It has its challenges to live in a country that is ‘out of sinc’ with most of the rest of the world. For everybody else it is just another October Wednesday. For us it is […]
I’m taking a course in blogging. The course is called ‘intentional blogging’, and the exercise for today was to find a focus for your blog. That exercise scared me. My whole life I have been hearing people preach about the need for intention, purpose and efficiency for our lives. And my whole life I have […]
My cat is sleeping in my lap. She is old, and I am worried about her. Usually I can’t get her off my lap, but tonight I had to nearly beg her to come. I found her on the street, 14 years ago. 14 years is a long time for a friendship to develop. We […]

I just read a mean cat diary on facebook, clearly from a dog lover/cat hater. I know many people who love both – cats and dogs – and equally. So I had to write a diary entree for my own cat. Friday May 9 I was very unhappy tonight. I am used to being banned […]
So the month of April passed, and the A-Z challenge is officially done. While I still have some letters left that I did not blog about, I did enjoy the challenge. I enjoyed visiting other blogs and am amazed there is so much out there. There are so many interesting people out there that have […]
This post is the thirteenth in a series about 25 years living in Israel. Compared to the nuisance of mosquitoes, the bureaucracy of the Ministry of Interior is really a Minor disturbance. They are more like a very exacting Friend. They don’t bite, they don’t make you itch. They just want you to be really […]
