It wasn’t on our original agenda for our trip but who can resist a visit to Israel’s very own Marzipan museum? Despite Ziva’s hatred for everything almond, we sure couldn’t, that’s for sure. I mean, I read that they had a life size Elvis made out of marzipan. No way was I going to miss [...]
The lovely Ziva and I will be headed up to the Golan for a wee vacation. We’ll be staying in a wood cabin in a beautiful village. I for one am looking forward to eating goat cheese. This may well be the last vacation we’ll be going on for a long time. Oh my, what [...]
I just finished a crazy exhausting week escorting a group of American journalists who write for “youth culture” magazines. It’s been a trippy week. Absurdly large meals with celebrities (Ivri Leder is a real mensch), an action packed all night club tour (big up to Hagay from Time Out Tel Aviv), a music for peace [...]
Back from NYC. Highlights: Lots of nice quality time with official and unofficial neices and nephews, Ziva’s first trip to Montauk, Beard Papa green tea flavored cream puffs, fountain Root Beer, sushi, Rhett Miller and the Believers concert (He made my lady swoon), brand spanking new Macbook Pro, seeing Ed O’Neil on the street. Low [...]

I always considered life in Israel to be fairly fast paced. The only time during the week that life feels a bit slower is Friday afternoons at about 3:00 p.m. which is about the time everyone has finished their weekend food shopping and are transitioning to the chilled out vibe of the weekend. But let [...]
Well, we are back home in Israel. For the past two and a half weeks we have been eating pho and spring rolls, drinking coffee, trekking and riding motorbikes from Hanoi to Halong Bay. Vietnam rules! You should go before the influx of tourists increases and it’s no longer uber-cheap. We would have told you [...]
I don’t like flying. I don’t get nervous or anxious about the actual act of flying. It’s the sitting still for hours at a time that gets to me. Physically I don’t do well on planes. My arthritis prevents me from sitting comfortably and I always swell up. I usually get some Ativan from my [...]
A couple of observations and ruminations about Switzerland, the land of neutrality, cheese and chocolate. – The mullet is a very popular hairstyle. We saw at least 12 mullets a day. It was especially popular in the banking district. Men with tailored suits specifically liked the mullet hairstyle. – The smoking habits of the Swiss [...]
I am back in Israel. Flight sucked. Food sucked. Movies sucked. Babies screaming in my fucking ears sucked. Thank goodness for Ambien.
