LONGTIME EXPAT LIFE IN ISRAEL - FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A BORN MISFIT. Saturday, May 28. And the kid falls off the horse. After a couple of agonizing hours, the pain subsided just enough (the Traumeel? Mommy absorbing a shitload of angry abuse? That she started to think maybe she could go to the party after all, but of course not sleep over, as was planned. At 9, I fashioned a sling out of a big scarf to sort of hold the arm still, and drove her over there. That is not my idea of living. A couple of hour...

LONGTIME EXPAT LIFE IN ISRAEL - FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A BORN MISFIT. Tuesday, November 7. My 14-year-old daughter calls me a psychopath. I'm hurt. I'm insulted. I'm wondering, "What if it's true? Her definition of a psychopath is one who yells when [other one] has "done nothing". Well, that's exactly the point, isn't it? She does nothing. No homework, no room tidying, no dishes, no respect. But lots of complaining, tv watching, computer messaging, music downloading and of course hair washing. I may be ...

LONGTIME EXPAT LIFE IN ISRAEL - FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A BORN MISFIT. Thursday, September 28. Well, I've got over 200 pictures, but so many would bore you, I'm sure, being details of this and that. Still, I must choose some to share, so I'll start with these. And while we're at it, the mountains of food on display at La Boqueria were a feast for the eyes, particularly this stand of an unbelievable number of varieties of mushrooms:. And here on the pretty plate:. Montserrat, the town and monastery:.

One woman's reflections on living with and for others. Tuesday, August 30, 2005. S moves out the day after tomorrow. We will miss her terribly, but she plans to come to our house for dinner every Thursday, so we won't be totally out of touch. I am sad she is moving. Posted by Sarah @ 9:46 PM. Monday, August 29, 2005. Time to think and process. We have come back from our trip and I have had a little time to process my thoughts. And the University of Portland. We stopped at the church Jack attends for an i...

LONGTIME EXPAT LIFE IN ISRAEL - FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A BORN MISFIT. Tuesday, November 14. Islam vs christianity: the Daily Show version. Steve, this debate is about religion; let's discuss it rationally.". Of Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert arguing which religion is better is already a couple of months old, but I hadn't seen it yet, being unable to catch Jon Stewart regularly. The pray-off proves nothing, but they do find agreement on one fundamental point: their common "enemy". What can we say?

LONGTIME EXPAT LIFE IN ISRAEL - FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A BORN MISFIT. Monday, March 28. A day in the big orange. I used to live in Tel Aviv. Across the street from my mother-in-law. I nagged, cajoled and whined until Mr. S agreed to buy an apartment in Raanana. I thought, "That's where all the anglos are; I'll be able to make friends who are like me." (Never did the thought enter my head, "I won't have to feel my mother-in-law's penetrating disapproval from across the street anymore."). With those damn ...

LONGTIME EXPAT LIFE IN ISRAEL - FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A BORN MISFIT. Sunday, June 26. A VERY long day - trippin'. Undrinkable. Small detail, though; the rest was wonderful. But we got home safely and it was a very satisfying day out. I don't whether it was lack of sleep or too much beer, but the next two days were spent recovering. And so the week closes, and another begins. On the agenda tomorrow: another technical seminar outside of the office. Posted by squarepeg @ 6:39 PM. Wednesday, June 22. Tomor...

LONGTIME EXPAT LIFE IN ISRAEL - FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A BORN MISFIT. Saturday, February 26. The peace has been shattered once again, making all our mundane, life-sucks type problems look insignificant . for a few hours. About an hour and a half ago, another suicide bomber struck, this time just off the Tel Aviv beach front, in front of a club packed with twenty-somethings. Three of them were killed immediately, scores wounded. "And still we find a reason to believe.". Posted by squarepeg @ 12:51 AM.
