A Couple Weeks

             
    after Israel, and My Ears Still felt like My Touchis: Clogged!  At the insistence of my Betrothed, I decided to see the Dr, The ENT  That is an  not the latter. After getting the All clear, and wanting to rule out other things, He Suggested I go for a hearing Examination, Where i would be wearing these sound Proof Headphones in a booth and repeating  Words after the Middle Aged Heimeshe Style woman Proctor. Most  words were Antonyms and I did have to remind myself to Repeat and not Associate, for Example She would say Cold Then Hot then Wet then Will leave it at that...... A round of Congratulations are in order to a couple of acquaintances on the Engagements of their Sons. I was able to spend a combined  49 minutes 46:34 Seconds at both functions before Anxiety Set it.To Break it down one was 31:02:25 and the other 18:44:09 the Mrs was only able to attend one... My Father told me when People take Nuts, Candy or Olives from Open Areas in a supermarket, the Store's configure it into their Prices, and its not really Stealing. What he did not tell me was How Germ infested and dirty their hands are when they do it. So when Really craving Olives from the Pomegranate Olive Bar, the Patron  ahead of me, decided to  stick his hands and  taste which olives he wanted, with out making a decision at the end. Compelled, I inconspicuously  followed him up and down the aisles listening to him coughing, The Good news was that he was not covering his mouth, So Maybe it was really OK to get the Olives..............

The Consensus

           voted  my Father The MVP of this year's Israel trip. The Highlights, Hijacking the bus to go pray Afternoon services near the Judean Dessert, by the town of kfar Adumim.  It is Agreed that, that to G0d goes all the glory, even at the expense of the twenty five other passengers, included one that was almost attacked by a rabid dog who waited over Thirty minutes for the Bus to pick them up. Ironically this happened  right by the " Good Samaritan". No one believed the claim that yours truly wanted to pray.......  Unbeknownst to my father, For Angelo's it is a special to have a Bar Mitzvah procession marching to the Western Wall, under a canopy, with music and the blowing of the Ram's Horn. So when the Bus pulled up, My Father light like a Cheetah, running like a deer, to do the Lord's Work, ushered my nephew into manhood by racing to the wall to put on his phylacteries. The Horns were blowing, the Music playing, the family Celebrating, only one thing missing. A long Twenty Minutes later, the bar Mitzvah boy was found, and crisis averted..... Other Happenings, Refusing to change prayer times in the mornings to accomadate the late coming Shammies, The Spill he took during the Torah Reading on Saturday, and of course the Breakfast..... An Honorable Mention goes to my Other Nephew for Bombing the bus with methane and thinking no one Smelled it , and eating out the Snack bar on a nightly Basis, In case ones wondering Small pringles Cost $5.93..........
