I keep an ever shrinking list of musicians I’d like to see perform live at some point. Last month I was able to check an important one off: Shlomo Artzi. I’ve been wanting to see him in concert ever since the kibbutz days. Back then I would listen to Yareah over and over and over [...]

Every young man goes through the same rituals when growing up. One of them is finding the deodorant that best matches his body chemistry. Once found, a lifelong relationship is formed.
Back in the day, I tried them all: Right Guard, Sure spray (like my dad uses: unscented - very manly), Arrid XX (only one X [...]
After a heavy lunch of Indian food it’s hard to stay awake. Nothing keeps you going like a cup (or two) of delicious Elite turkish coffee prepared in the newly set up coffee office: “The Coffice” with the tools I recently imported.

I have finally downloaded, cleaned up, and sorted over 400 photos from my recent trip to Israel. As you can imagine it was an absolute blast (the trip, not sorting the photos out). Keep on reading to see the album and for more…

I’m back in Austin now… went straight from the airport to work, then to a volleyball [...]
This one’s bothered me for years and it came up again yesterday while chilling at the beach:
In Hebrew, turkey (the animal) is hodu/הודו. However, Hodu/הודו is also the name for India (the country), while in English Turkey refers to a different country known in Hebrew as Turkia/טורקיה. To make matters worse, the animal does not [...]
Went out to a big club in Tel Aviv on Monday. Absolutely packed, huge line, hard to go in. Everything else at the port was also full. On a Monday.
Got back to Tel Aviv from Jerusalem last night at 3 AM. Coffee shops and bars everywhere were open. People walking the streets. Stores open. On [...]
I’m in Jerusalem right now. The first part of my trip is almost over (the part with the group).
On Monday morning we are officially done after we drop everyone off at the airport. What I’ll be doing the next week is not yet totally decided but I have many ideas. I should have better access [...]
