Sleepless in .........well its not Seattle

. . . . . . . I am not Meg Ryan, and Tom Hanks isnt around.  

What will happen in the morning when 8 o'clock comes and goes, and I still cant crawl out of bed. Sleep is just not meant to be tonight. Am I turning into u no hoo. Sorry only my nearest and dearest will get that  one. 

This is Israel, and I have been here almost a month.  The Emunah Convention came and went.  Perhaps I should have participated in more of it, but I  just  didnt have the stamina.  I must say that those parts I did go to, were really well done and very interesting.  The stand out speakers were Rav Lau, and Rav Benny Lau; Gil Troy never disappoints.  He has such passion for this country. 

It is interesting to me to note how some of the Israel Emunah ladies have evolved in their positions.  Given the opportunity to lead some certainly grew into leadership roles.

Eva and Jane were great company for as long as that lasted, but now I have to get down to the business of serious living.  Got to find a satisfying routine.  

Of course, now it is Chanukah, and again a week's delay in settling into real life.   But one thing I can do tomorrow morning is get up and get out.  My trajectory is straight up the hill for the 20 minute walk to a good cup o' coffee and 20 minutes back.  That is not a bad beginning for this sedentary soul.  We'll see what new excuse tomorrow will bring.
