On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Hil, I thought of you in London. At several pubs, I ordered a veggie burger and they were the best I've ever had. Finally asked one of the peeps serving at the pub, and he said it's the Indian influence; their veggie burgers are like curried beans or somesuch. YUM.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

International veggie burgers are fun. When I was in Ireland, at a chain called Eddie Rockets that was definitely the same as Johnny Rockets here in the states, the veggie burger used potato rather than bread crumbs.

In Israel, they use mushrooms. Mostly portobello. And I love and adore them for doing this.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

If I ever find myself in Israel, I'll make a point of ordering a veggie burger at some point. Unless I'm too busy trying totally new foods.

ION, I think I just got spammed by an old friend from junior high. Same deal as Teppy's spam. It's just, ages ago I lost my address book out of my yahoo account, so lost her email address. And I could not remember her married name to look her up. This one time? God bless the spambots.

There's the Tuesdays and Fridays food market in Dizengof center, and one can have a full nutritious, delicious and local meal just from the tastings they offer. I had an excellent veggie cholent [link] last time I was there.

Even though I hate Tel Aviv, I usually try to schedule my visits there to these days, and drag a friend for lunch and catching up there.

So who wants to come to Florida and make me go through all my stuff to get ready to move? Ugh. It really is essential that I move at least one a decade so that the closets get purged. Again I say, ugh.

I'm actually on a plane leaving Florida today. Won't be back for about a month. You'll be moved by then won't you?

Yes, I'll be about a half hour south of where I am now. It's not like I need to do the whole move in one day or anything, but this fact isn't helping my avoidance behavior.

Anyway, when you get back to Orlando it is still only 3 hours away. DH is going to be there next weekend for a tournament again. Let us know when you are around. If you get a day off (hahahahahaha) you can come to Fort Lauderdale, or we can see if we can make an escape.

This past year or so has been so insanely busy we have missed many opportunities to see people and do stuff. We are trying to fix that. Moving is part of the simplification of life plan.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

But it sounds like he was willing to help. So maybe provide ND a plane ticket and he will help!?

Hee! I can just imagine how much purging and packing we would get done with Drew in town.
