Were you visiting any family or friends, or were you there only as pilgrims? What did you get to see while you were there?

Pretty much just visiting family and relaxing. In between visits to aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents, we saw a lot of Jerusalem including the old city and the western wall, and a charming little park called mini-Israel which had little models of all the famous and almost famous sites in Israel.

In short, I felt like we were barely there. And we're already talking about doing it again (after I get that plush new job.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds fantastic, Wolfram.

Is it that you can't get them in the summer because they melt,

That's what they say. You also can basically only get them in the north east.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Perkins, I haven't done much with it yet. I do plan on playing with it on the plane to NOLA.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds really nice, Wolfram. I'm glad you got to go, and hope you get a chance to go for longer soon.

Aha! THis explains the vast well of ignorance.

Seriously, I heard them mentioned on an episode of Roseanne lo these many years ago and have always wondered what the hell they were.

I just noticed that the grocery store up here actually sells muffin tops. Thanks, my life is Seinfeldian enough as it is.

I realize the time to admire tortie-point cats have passed, but here's one that I'm particularly fond of:

Fluffy tail! I love medium and longhaired fluffy tails.

Oh, and all these cat photos are not good for me right now, since I'm seriously considering getting a companion for my one cat, who is bored out of her mind (the vet says she's compulsively licking herself, and I think it's getting worse, no matter how many toys I get her). I'm worried how she'll react to another cat. I want to get another female, younger than Amarna (who's around three), who won't have problems with being in a multicat 1BR apartment.
