I had a dream last night

It involved Glasgow and a wedding gift. I don't remember the bride but I think I was in Israel.

Europe's calling my name

I don't know why but I have this constant urge, this itch I can't scratch, to go off to Europe for a while. There's just so much of the world I haven't seen and I keep getting this sensation that tells me "lech lecha" - go and see the world. Now! Something's tugging at me and I'd really like to go wherever it pulls me.

I have this fantastic vision

I start in Israel, take a boat to Greece and travel through the islands for 5 days. Move on to Italy and fall in love with Roma. Have a dance party in front of the Colosseum. Move on to Barcelona. Catch a football game or two. Eat some arroz con pollo because I'm not so adventurous, or amazing fish and figs.

I'd like to ride a bike in Amsterdam and remember why Van Gogh is so wonderful. Go to Prague because I haven't been there since high school and visit the place where we got lost and then found ourselves. I suppose I'd have to go to France because, well, I'd have to go to France. I'd write in cafes, drink coffee, eat pastries, smoke cigarettes and imagine my life in black and white.

I'd like to spend a couple of months in London but I don't know why. How much time can you spend riding the tube afterall, while envisioning a scene from The Rules of Attraction.
Who knew one episode of the new and terrible 90210 could bring me back to 2001....

Just a typical night in NYC



It was just another typical night in NYC which began with kosher wine at the Hadag Nachash concert, ending in watching Chabadnikim of the Rebbe as Messiah persuasion dance around Union Square to celebrate the new moon. Only in New York right? It's really satisfying to know that 2 weeks in a row I spent having a genuinely enjoyable Saturday night instead of trying to chase after the Saturday nights of my early 20s.
