The Introductory Post

I am/was/will be in Israel for ten-and-a-half of the next twelve months. Looking at it now, this is quite a long time. In order to stay in semi-regular/mass-communication touch with friends and family, I have started this blog. I do not know where it is going or whether I will update it enough to be worth saving a spot for on your homepage. I'll try.

What I do know is that I leave early in the morning just over six days from today. This means I must cleanandpack and all that othergoodstuff; I must also wave goodbye to four years' enemies and friends. Some waving has already begun, and each one is a little harder than the previous. At the same time each brings next week and the beginning of LHIYS a little closer.
