Just interviewed Ami Ayalon who is running in the Nike HumanRace 10K in Tel-Aviv with his three sons.
The race is taking place simultaneously in 25 cities around the world. Even though Nike Israel has a site of its own, too bad Tel-Aviv is not even mentioned on Nike’s Human Race site. Wonder why [...]

Disbanded – Israel loses its Big Band jazz ensemble
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged big band jazz, Hed Music College, Israeli jazz on August 21, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Sixty-two-year-old Mikhail Heybudin considers himself lucky. Employed full time as a handyman at the Hed College of Contemporary Music in Tel Aviv, the former Ukrainian has an aversion for romanticizing the past, when he too made music – back when he was somewhat of a star.
Heybudin was not always a handyman. A lifetime ago he [...]
Terror alert, attractive rates for Israelis abroad
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Hizbullah, Israelis, Israelis traveling abroad, terror alert on Israelis on August 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Just minutes after we started noticing a terror warning on Israelis traveling and living abroad on several Hebrew websites, I received an SMS message from my cellular phone operator: “Planning a vacation abroad? We offer you the chance to enjoy our attractive tariffs for overseas calls.”

Just watching the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, with all the countries’ athletes marching into the stadium in the Parade of Athletes.

Just realized something interesting: all four candidates for the Kadima leadership have impressive security backgrounds:
Shaul Mofaz is a former IDF Chief of General Staff, Minister of Defense, and he also heads the Israel-US strategic dialogue. He is on the security cabinet.
Avi Dichter is a former paratrooper, General Security Service [Shabak] agent, and head of the [...]
Where have the newspapers gone?
Posted in Uncategorized on August 4, 2008 | 2 Comments »
My newspapers didn’t arrive this morning. I have a routine every morning: read the papers, do some yoga, get ready for work. Suddenly I had some free time.
Instead if calling customer service I wrote this:
The day the newspapers didn’t arrive some people walked around aimlessly in the streets; some men spent the morning making coffee [...]
