I cannot find the blog I wrote this am. We went to a wedding last night. It was
very much in the style of a J. Orthodox wedding, with the men and women being seperate. The women had on beautiful long dress and some of the men were dressed
in robes and kuffia.. lots of music singing and sweets. No booze!
We spent the day,thursday, in political discussions. Besides the war in Iraq
which is considered a really evil thing, Palestine is a big issue. The Law of
return being a key sticking point in any kind of peace agreement. J's are allowed
to return/live in Israel with relative ease. Not so for Palestinians. I am listening
to these arguments and seeing how the mere presense of Israel is a constant irriation
here. I'm not sure that two states will ever work and that our current course of
negotiations is even on the right track. At the school we visited, yesterday, there
was a poster on the wall, MAPS of the world. The flag for Israel was BLANK. I think
that says it all.

We are in Lake Placid for 2 nights. It is beautiful. We went to the top of the mouontain today and you can see all the way to Montreal. Oh did I mention that Whitts and I did a little sale shopping. Sad news. Jim Warfield died yesterday of lung cancer. John and I are blowen away. I knew that he was going downhill, but we didn't expect that call for a year or more. Cooper is a good boy. He only cries when the food is served.
Vickie, I'm so sorry about Warfield..we will need to have
a little memorial for him.. I know
he was a very good friend to you
and that you and john will miss him..
