Greetings from Jerusalem


I had a very nice opportunity to visit Jerusalem while I have been here in Israel. This is a picture of me hanging out on Mount Scopus overlooking Old Jersusalem.
It doesn't look like much from this picture, but it is rich in history and conflict. Luckily I was able to visit the city just a few days before President Bush arrived. The need for his security has shut the town down.
Our tour guide was a 72-year old guy that was extremely knowledgeable in Biblical history and city sights. If you get a chance to go to Israel, definitely take a tour from a guide. It is more than worth the money.

Even more twue wuv...

...is taking care of my wife who is the latest flu casualty and sick in bed. I've never seen her so sick. I mean, she's been sick before, but she's like crazy sick this time. Special thanks goes out to my nephew again for promoting flu in my family. It's my last day home before a long overseas business trip, and I am more than happy to take care of her. Why do I do it? Because I wuv her!

I hope I don't get it while I'm traveling. I guess I could have some fun with it. I could puke in a bag on the plane and then turn to the guy next to me and tell him how I'm with the World Health Organization and I'm just getting back from investigating bird flu in asia. That would be classic.
