Final count: 72

0-10 = Do you even know what a good movie is?
11-25 = You’re not a total American recluse, but you need to raid the Classics section at Blockbuster.
26-50 = Fair enough! You’re an average American, who sees enough movies, good and bad, to get by culturally.
51-70 = An avid classic movie watcher. *pats back*
71-90 = A VERY avid classic movie watcher! Movies must be a BIG hobby of yours.
91-100 = OK, did you get this list ahead of time and PURPOSELY watch every movie on it? Holy guacamole! You’re really the stuff that dreams are made of.

Where are you camping, and where else will you be findable?
Efrat. Elazaar. Jerusalem – the Old City

When are you arriving?
leaving here on 12 Aug, arriving BGN Aug 14 mid afternoon.

What fun things are you planning to do?
Spending time with family, attending twin nephew’s bar mitzvot

This signals the end of an era…

Did anyone borrow my radios? I can’t find them and I seem to recall lending them out but I cannot recall to whom…

This must be Durham…

The good news – no travel planned between now and when I leave for Israel. Yes, I am still planning to go. No, I do not foresee any issues. For reference, look here.

I cannot remember when I last gave a real update… so here are some highlights.

June 20-22 I was in Philly for work. Got to see the Yanks kick the Phillies ass. Always a bonus.

July 4 – went to Beaufort with , Manus, and Lance. Looked at tall ships. Tres kewl – especially the Brazilian ship. Had a really good time. Long day though – on the road by 6am and not back until almost 11.

July 6 – 9 – Borrowed ’s car (hybrid gets much better gas mileage then SUV) and drove to Wooster, OH to visit Adam.  Got to meet his father, Louis. Louis is a nice guy – a little strange, but a loving and caring father. And I got to spend time with my boy!!!! Woo hooo!!! I miss him. We really didn’t do anything in particular. Spent a lot of time just hanging out with him in the costume shop at OLO. Just basically hung out with him – which was perfect.

On the 10th, flew to Boise, ID for meetings with HP. Those were very productive and we took an afternoon to go white water rafting with Cascade Raft & Kayak. I have never done anything like it before – and it was a blast. Twos and threes.  Pictures are here.

This weekend I went to ’s Bastille Day get together in Friday, helped buy a laptop on Saturday, and laid on the couch watching House, MD all day Sunday.

Dug goes out of town in another week… and I have a ton to get done before I go to Israel. And I found it very hard to get out of bed this morning. Ah, exhaustion….

Check this out!

Thats right – you can go here and watch the launch from cameras mounted on Discovery!!!

Pictures of the Tall Ships from Pepsi America’s Sail are here.
