I have been busy signing people up for our incredibly fabulous trip to Vietnam and Cambodia (leaving on November 24).  I have shared our training experience with a French speaking guide who is going to be traveling with a French speaking group alongside our group.  We will be visiting sites separately, but will be staying in hotels and taking flights together.  Yesterday I had a particularly fantastic morning with my daughters.  Rachel picked Leah and me up and drove us to Raanana where we enjoyed shopping at our favorite store (&#8220;Big Deal&#8221;) and stopped for some delicious felafel sandwiches enhanced by goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes.<\/p>\n<p>Today, instead of biking at the gym, I went into the jacuzzi and steam room hoping to knock out this cough that has been with me for the last month.  I think I was partially successful since although i am still coughing, it is less often.<\/p>\n<p>*This afternoon, in an effort to make it possible to upload pictures to the web, my daughter Leah tried to upgrade me to a newer version of wordpress.  To say that she ran into a nasty interface would be like saying that it got a little wet in Thailand when they had the tsunami.  For a while, everything I had written in the last 3.5 years was lost in cyberspace.  I madly began downloading Google&#8217;s cache of each month of the site.  I have about 20 gazillion pages of text and didn&#8217;t get it all, but wonder of wonders, she got it all back!!!! <\/p>\n<p>And&#8230; tonight I did something I have been waiting to do for a long time.  I&#8217;ll give you a hint: It&#8217;s on a par with riding the ducks for treatment of depression.  What?  You guessed it?  You must have seen it too&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>Mamma Mia!<\/p>\n<p>It was silly and over the top, but I loved it.  I love the music.  I love the dancing.  I even love the costumes and sets and photography.  For the duration of the movie and the credits, I was in another place just having a really really good time.   Oh, and Sir Kicksalot liked it too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As usual, things around here are busy.
