Adventures

I cant tell you how much i have enjoyed watching about 20 hours of live Tour de France action so far.

I have written my last thee articles for Jpost. I hope at least one of the three gets in the paper. I had so much fun at today's interview. I went to the Bank of Israel and had a one-on-one with the head of currency. They sat me down, offered me drinks, a coffee and a soft drink, whatever i want, and we got to work. It was fun. I'm nicer than most journalists. In the world of journalism i am the nice guy. I don't get the juicy stuff all the time, but i can call someone after an interview and they are happy to hear me....its a trade off. Me wearing a shirt and tie (which really stands out in the israeli summer time) totally scored me credibility with my interviewees.

I am going on two adventures in the next few days. I hope i am in good health to tell you about them....just gotta drink plenty of fluids, and hope Sam finds the mosquito net.

Nine hours of sleep is the same as seven - but with 9 hours i think things like "you got nine hous, you're not really tired, just thirsty, or digesting, or something. Drink some water. Go for a walk."

I also have my grand finale, the packing blog, to be written from midnight to 4 am on the 27th. Will be a blast. My computer broke again. I'm using an external mouse and keyboard now. Pshh.

See you soon, alligator.

Kaffeh Namas or Kaffeh Shachor? Now that is a way to score points. Just remember, try and watch today's stage - Alpe D'Huez is going to decide this tour. I think I am going to not read about it all day (I hope) then go watch the extended coverage at hillel at night.
