The lasting effect that Israel has had on me is a taste for Bissli.  What's even more exciting is that the Potomac Yards Harris Teeter carries Bissli now!  Seriously!  And here I thought I would only be able to find it at Wegmans!  WOOO!!!!

Fine dining is a lot of money for delicious by tiny portions.  Restaurant week is a bargain??!!??

As someone who has spent years playing guitar, and harnessing their craft - I find Rock Band to be an abomination.  A fantastically fun abomination.

Norman Mineta would've approved Metro to Dulles.  But instead we're stuck with these anti-transportation assclowns.  And to your people bitching about the tunnel, Bechtel built the rest of the system with a design/build no-bid contract, and they did a fuckin' good job.  Plus tunnels = cost overruns.  And honestly, those of you trying to scuttle the elevated track, you weren't for the tunnel either - you wanted to kill the damn project either because of some misguided notion of "slow growth" or because you didn't want to hand a political victory to a primary rival.  But I digress.  Assholes.  We need that train.

I downloaded all of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass's Going Places album because I wanted to expand my collection of cheesey music.  But I'll be damned if Tijuana Taxi isn't a catchy song.  Is it possible I'm starting to ACTUALLY enjoy Herb Alpert instead of just IRONICALLY enjoy him?

Sitting Beside the Dead Sea

Sunrise

I love open WiFi.  Especially when I'm hanging out near the Dead Sea.  Now you may be wondering - "Mike, why aren't you IN the Dead Sea?"  Unfortunately, this morning I had a flare up of a cornea abrasion I suffered 6 years ago at the hands of a USA Today.  Somehow, surrounding myself with salt water seemed like an absolutely terrible idea. 

We spent a large part of the day today at Masada.  This was probably the first time that I got to truly come up close to Roman ruins.  We watched the sunrise, discussed the history, and walked down the side of the mountain. 

Ibix

A nature preserve was the next spot.  Some attractive waterfalls, and the Deer-like Ibix.  I learned that Deer are Kosher, but Ibix are not - something about hoof splitting.  Who knew?

Seaside Blogging

Word has gotten around that I have a computer, and I've been able to find WiFi hot spots.  Of course, everyone has been asking to check their email.  I'm debating whether or not to charge.
