While My Laundry Gently Spins

It's post-Purim and it was, eh. I didn't get the spiritual download I was promised but that's ok. I was sick and whatever I "downloaded" wasn't Purim (it was the flu) and in fact was hastily ex-loaded out of my body.

Now I feel better though. I feel a connection with the land and after the pre-Purim fast I'm eating less. For all the food that people eat, there's not a lot of overweight people, which I was curious about. So I inquired and found that it's the low-meat diet. We eat a lot of bread but little meat. Apparently the meat-eaters of America might have been telling a fib. I'll look a little more into it.

Right now the weather is absolutely lovely. Feels like spring. Can't believe that I missed St. Patrick's Day! I was not even aware that the day occurred. Instead I studied the great scholar Rashi and his biblical commentary on this weeks Torah portion. In fact, I've only got drunk once since being here. It's true that you grow out of certain behaviors. For that, my liver is thankful.

Passover (Pesach) is right around the corner and the school goes on break. I will remain in Israel and try to back pack around the country. Need to visit, well, everywhere. I've got to visit Tel Aviv, the Dead Sea, and the Galilee region up North.

Well that's all folks. Peace!
