And So It Begins

Tonight Michelle and I bought packing boxes as we begin hauling our belongings back the US. We know that we'll be moving back to the States in mid-July, so we are taking advantage of our trips next week, in April, and May (only me) to schlep as much stuff back as we can.

Right now we are focusing on books. With a little luck, we'll be able to bring back ~130 lbs of books next week. As packing material, we'll use all of the linens and pillows that we can spare.

On an aside. I just learned that the term "linens" encompasses all of your fabric home goods except clothing. That's your towels, sheets, tablecloths, and napkins (if you are fancy shmancy like us :) ). Who knew? Answer: Probably everybody else except me.

Anyways, as we begin emptying our apartment we can no longer avoid the fact that we'll be leaving Israel in less than 6 months.

Here's Your Rock Back

I'm done living under it. Between work and business school applications I've been a pretty busy of late. Now I have down time galore...except that I'm still busy at work, am getting ready for our trip to the States and Italy, and am about to receive another infusion of Remicade. This vacation will have been well earned :)

PS How amazing is it that Michelle and I get to be back for Super Bowl weekend while the Patriots are shooting for a perfect season?!?!?!? After missing two Red Sox championships and a Patriots championship it will be nice to be in town for a title game. We're having a Super Bowl party in Canton as that will give people their best chance at catching us before we head to Italy (we are in the States for less than four days - including Shabbat).
