last evening, our synagogue hosts a cultural event - the idf (israeli defense forces) musical ensemble. it is a rousing success, with over 400 people in attendance to see these (very!) young and dynamic personnel singing and dancing in hebrew and english - a thoroughly professional and inspiring experience.
someone remarks to jane that the leader of the troupe, a very young twenty year old adorable 'girl' is just like her ... in fact, jane could be her mother! it is funny, as she has the same dark and vivacious good looks that my wife exhibits - although nobody said she could be her sister!
further adding to the amusement is the comments of the female soldiers to jane - they love her dress, her shoes, her earrings - how hysterical! coveting her look, whilst they are young and supple things - never mind that they don't know about the goings-on since november past!
it is hard to believe, but our baby andi turns 11 today! seems like just yesterday, his birth at mount sinai in new york city. while i was working today, i glanced out the window, only to see three young (ie. 2 and 3 year old) boys playing in the garden of my next door neighbor. they were absolutely adorable, and the scene brought back fond memories - watching the father play with them, squealing in delight, looking at him with complete admiration ... nice! in fact, it seems to be the only way i can even remember andi at that age! the whole thing really, really touched me on this day ... i ran to the closet and brought out three soccer balls for them to play with (they couldn't have been more delighted, me too!).
so, happy birthday andi, and jane, keep on rollin'!
