I couldn't sleep last night, and I ended up watching Tennis. It was some young unknown against Nadal, and I was so rooting for the other guy, whose name I can't remember, because Nadal was wearing Manpris! They were giving me the heebie jeebies.

(like, um, tearing up each and every time I watch the ending of "Out of Gas")

I can't understand not crying at the end of Out of Gas, even though I don't often cry because of films and TV shows.

A new bakery just opened across the street. I now have a doughnut. I'm not sure what to call it. It looks like a little loaf of bread. It is yummy. My id is pleased.

Dunkin' Donuts used to make crullers. Not the kind in a circle (although they did those too, but called them French Crullers, I think), but an oblong, yet twisted donut. They stopped. Now I think all their donuts are mass produced (at least at the shops around here, they are) and they make what they call "sticks". The crullers were much better.

Mom called around 7 this morning Matthew couldn't get in touch with his mother to let her know he was ok. He called grandmother who was trying to call his mother, and has now gotten her and my mother who called me.

More than a little relieved, and now I have to run to work. Thanks for the thoughts, and I didn't want anyone worrying now that we've located him.

Nilly! I took a look at my postcard last night and the best I can tell, it is a picture of some building on stilts with people underneath. Kristin and I were looking at it last night and I discovered that the description of the picture is in Hebrew, so I sent it to school with her so someone could maybe translate it.

Oh good, Heather. I was hoping you'd hear. I hope all goes well on your way to and in Shreveport.

That's great news Heather.

Heather, thanks for posting your good news.

If I'm ever sending you a postcard from Israel, it's going to have camels on it.

I was reading it thinking "oh, if you scan it I can translate it!", and then you mentioned Kristin, and, well, so much easier.

Tim Horton's has these. They're sort of like a donut muffin.

Foods have too many names. Or maybe in-English foods. Or maybe in-American-English foods, I don't know where the difference lies. That's what I learned from skimming yesterday's Natter.

Aren't they just loaf-shaped muffins?
